W124 300E 4matic Anti Roll Bar

Does anybody know whether the anti roll bar on a 300E 4Matic would be the same as a 2 wheel drive 300E ?

The reason I ask is that my bushes have gone but Euro Car Parts don't list them for the 4matic but they do for the 300E.

My local MB dealer seemed to think that the outer bushes on the 4matic are a rose joint style fitting not a rubber bush as they appear to be on everything else. I need to have a better look tonight but recall it all being encased in a rubber sleeve so difficult to tell.

It would seem strange to fit rose jointed stuff on a production car as the wear rates are high and they are more costly to replace than rubber bushes.

Best bet is to have a look at what's there. Most MB stuff has a number on it.

went back to the dealers and got them to show me the exploded drawing, and yes the 4matic outer bushes are different and mount to the wishbone slightly differently.
