Mike, Don't forget the differential mount. A relatively inexpensive and easy part to replace. If this is wonky (which it probably is if it's the original) your car's back end will go all over the place.
Hardest part about this repair is getting under the car with a BIG breaker bar to break the bolts loose. Be sure to use thread locking compound on the new ones, too.

I replaced all 4 shocks last week, however I am still getting quite a bit of rear steer on the highway. Does anyone know where I can find a good DIY write up on how to replace theses bushings and mounts? Can this job be done without a spring compressor? I have a floor jack, several jack stands as well as a small hydraulic jack. I have changed the engine in my 300TD and repaired/replaced most of the front end suspension as well. Is this task something I should attempt on my own? The independents around here are quoting between 500 and 700 dollars labor. One of them said the "book" calls for 9 and 1/2 hours to complete the job. I ordered the parts from Rusty. Thanks in advance for any help, Mike _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
