Re: [MBZ] motor mounts 116/123/126 whats the deal?
Bob, When I first got my '80 300SD (W116) in '89, there were different motor mounts for each side. IIRC, the right side was a little stiffer to offset the torque. Don't remember when it changed in 90's, but they are now the same. And they are a 123 part number. Take care, Chuck 1980 300SD 1986 190E 2.3 16V... Now in Abilene, TX and taking her back to Phoenix.

I just checked Rusty's web site, shows different mounts by Febi (right) and Lemforder (left) for $24.15 and $20.17, or Corteco/Freudenberg lists the same part number for right and left, only $13.64. If putting a Febi on the right and a Lemforder on the left makes it work as the factory intended, it might be worth the extra $17 or so. Question for the people who have claimed very short life for new motor mounts, were those Freudenberg mounts?

The only difference I can see on my 126/617.95 is that the right side hase a tapped hole (6mm ?) on top with nothing in it. The other side doesn't. -- Hans Neureiter, Houston, TX '82 300SD, '95 E300D

One side is stiffer than the other when the sides are NOT identical. It's NOT something you can easily see (that's why they were color coded).

Re: [MBZ] motor mounts 116/123/126 whats the deal?
Thats what I thought too. For a a 617.95 engine in the 116 chasis it still calls for two different numbers, that look the same when you open the box. In a 126 chasis they are the same number. Maybe one is a higher durometer rubber Bob DuPuy On 1/29/06, Kaleb C. Striplin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: they are the same.

Well Our Man Rusted Root can still get a reasonable facsimile of the superseded right mount. Of course it costs double, but if it is important to you, or your just gullable Tom can hook you up.
