[MBZ] This weekends project

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

I pulled the drive shaft on the 98 E300 to cure the increasingly worse 
vibration when taking off from a start, which I assumed was the center 
support.  When I dropped the exhaust shield, yep, center support was 
shot.  Along with that I replaced the front flex disk and trans mount.  
The rear flex disk was done when I replace the differential.  The 
differential cover has also been leaking for a while and I discovered 
when I sealed the cover before installing it I failed to torque the 
bolts all the way down. Wow.  I was able to unbolt it from the car with 
a jack under it and was able to drop it down and push it forward enough 
to get the bolts off without pulling the axles.  Removed the cover 
cleaned it up and applied the sealant and torqued them down properly 
this time.  Got it reinstalled, slammed the drive shaft back in, filled 
the diff with oil and job done.  Drive it up the street and problem 
solve.  It is way more quite and smooth.  Seems to have more power too, 
but not sure how that could be.  Maybe it was because I have been 
keeping out of the pedal to keep it from banging around.
