yes, i will rebuild his air suspension. I thought I was going to have
to call you up and gripe about the defective tensioner you sold me. Oh
well. Will have to call you up to order some stuff and discuss other
matters though.

Subject: [MBZ] the rattling belt tensioner on the SDL
Well I figured out why the tensioner was rattling on the SDL even after
replacing it. The AC compressor was about to fall off!!! Tightened the
bolts back up and 75% of the rattle is gone. Still a little belt
squeel, think the belt may be worn and causing the rest of the rattle,
or maybe the spring is weak. Took the spring loose from the top like I
did last time and pryed it back, this time it caused the rattle to go
away completely. So, its either the spring or the belt, will probably
just replace both.
