I think the TD has the rubber mounting bolts between the manifold and
the air cleaner too, I recall doing something with them ages ago, but
don't recall specifically. I know they are on the turbo mounting
bracket that regularly breaks. I do have a bunch of them in a bag
somewhere, they were cheap when I bought some for the SDs.

Don’t know about that..
As I recall, the bracket was mounted directly to the manifold and then there
were the rubber mounts in between the bracket and the air cleaner housing. On
the OM617s, that is. I have no knowledge of the 240Ds in this regard.
An aside - those little rubber standoffs are a generic MB part that is used in
a bunch of different applications. Like the windshield washer pump grommets,
it’s one that I keep a few spares if in the “drawer ‘o’ parts”.

Well turns out I was wrong! I haven’t worked on the TD in ages, it is a direct
mount to the manifold
Musta been too early...

Well now I am in a discussion regarding the air cleaner mounting bracket
(actually it had something to do with the little rubber mounting bolts), that
they ALL break at some point and some dude is telling me NA cars don’t have the
mounting bracket. I tell him far as I know all 617s have that, both turbo and
NA. Argument ensues.
Now he says butbutbut his 240D doesn’t have one. I don’t know what a 240 has
but that wasn’t the issue. Sigh...

Yup. The sad fact is, these guys are buying these cars at premium price points,
and expecting million mile maintenance free cars. They spent their formative
years in mom's basement playing videogames, with little or no inquisitive
nature as to why the wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round. Now, in their
20's, they are trying to get a clue. I don't mind helping, if they will listen.

Subject: [MBZ] I guess I was ignorant at some point too
From the 123 FB group:
Well it's official this is now my daily driver and I am slightly concerned with
the rear being so low it's like the previous owner stored lead in the back for
20 years idk but I am getting a narly wobble at certain speeds and can't help
but wonder if this is effecting it so long story short is this lower than
normal and if so what's the proper fix just new springs is their a certain
spring better than others should I try a set of air shocks for cheap easy fix
any insight would be appreciated at this point
Also if anyone has the proper alignemnt specifications for these guys I would
greatly appreciate it ia set to good enough at the moment
