For such a small and inexpensive part the sway bar link on the rear suspension of W123's can create quite the racket.
If, as you drive or rough roads, you hear a lot of rumbling or clunking from the rear of the car the first place to check is the sway bar links. It's easy to diagnose, and almost as easy to replace. Do yours today; stop living with the noise!

Great photos and videos. Good job. Thanks.
You're welcome! This is definitely one of those repairs that are 1) easy and 2) provide a LOT of immediate tangible benefit. It's super annoying driving around with bad sway bar links.
