Well after an entire day screwing with it I'm DONE... I see what you mean though, if you push on the center (which is what I've been doing DOH!) it bulges out and never fits. The fronts are SUPER easy...
Ironically I think if I'd left the rears alone I'd have been okay, the only one I could find movement in was the front. I'll call my Indy on Monday. -Curt Date: Sat, 30 Oct 2010 12:53:04 -0500 From: Peter Frederick <[email protected]> To: Mercedes Discussion List <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] 190D Subframe woes cont Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Yup, goes in from the bottom. Make sure the hole in the frame is clean -- chunks of old rubber in there WILL prevent the new mount from going in, believe me, I've tried. If possible, you should press in on the metal rim of the subframe mount, not the center portion, that way you won't tear it, and you will be applying pressure directly on the seating portion. If you have nothing else, a big washer on top will work using the old lower retainer plate and some all-thread. The mount should go in pretty easy with a puller, if not make SURE you have the correct one for your chassis. Make sure they are right way 'round, I seem to remember that they are not circular, and the "tabs" go fore and aft, not to the side. Good luck -- I'm planning on doing this job on my 300D very soon, hopefully before this coming Thanksgiving where I have to make a 600 mile trip!
