W124 Front Suspension Strut Upper Rubber Mount

All these 124 chassis cars are 20 years or older. That is when rubber parts start to fail regardless of mileage. If you want to restore the factory ride and handling Kent strongly recommends you replace the top rubber mounts when you replace the shocks. Shocks should be changed every 50,000 to 60,000 miles.  If the shocks were recently replaced without the mounts best to inspect them very closely. But be warned they may look ok but the weakened rubber over time will affect handling!
