Hey guys,
I'm in need of a company in Australia that supply bushes for my w109. I can only find places in Germany or USA.
If anyone has any ideas who to go through would help a lot.
Thanks

Patrick - the W109 air-suspension chassis uses different bushes from the W108 conventional-spring chassis.. there are three Australian suppliers I'd vouch for:
- McStarparts Sydney (Mac, 0418 636 ***) - stocks the common W108/W109 bushes including the W109 air strut upper mount bush. Calls Germany for the air-specific items.
- Bilstein Australia (1300 884 224) - has the W109 air suspension OEM bushes available via custom order from Stuttgart, 4-week lead time.
- Performance Suspension Sydney (Roy, 02 8765 1100, Strathfield) - press in/out service at $65 per bush. Will supply bushes if you give him the part number.
For the W109 specifically, the unique items vs W108 are the air strut upper mount (109 333 05 17), the air strut lower control arm bush (109 333 08 14), and the rear air bellow upper mount (109 328 03 25). All three available via Mac or Bilstein Australia..

Billy, Viktor - thank you. Called Mac this morning, all three of the W109-specific items on order, in 2-3 weeks. Cheers..
