Tighten the mount bolts... On both my 240Ds to tighten the bolt I first have to loosen the (17mm I believe) mount bolt, then tighten the adjuster bolt, the re-tighten the mount bolt.
Which reminds me the '78 needs it. -Curt Date: Mon, 18 Apr 2011 23:41:46 -0700 From: Jim Cathey <j...@windwireless.net> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Do Chickens shriek?

This is the adjuster that sticks out the side like it's making a right turn. Uses a 13mm wrench to adjust. No clamp bolt I can see, it's supposed to have a tight enough friction fit to stay put. Which this one does not, and so it's now wearing a lovely dab of blue locktite. We'll see how it goes. -- Jim _______________________________________ 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://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
