Hi Tom,
What are the warning signs of a bad/dieing Rack Damper Bolt? If I have one,
need to know how to tell if it's bad. Man! This is getting complicated!
TIA,

Replacing the rack damper with a used one is not the answer. Mercedes
designed a replacement with higher spring tension to help prevent hunting.

Thanks John,
I'll look thru my WSM tomorrow to see if anything looks familiar.
Nice
little shameless plug - but I need to *find* my Rack Bolt -- replacing it
with a used one may be just a *tad* premature.

It's called a PIN
A0000742674
item 257 on the part sheet,
617.952 engine, 07 injection pump, 045 injection pump.
It doesn't look like the non-turbo injection pumps had one?
BTW (shamless plug) I've a used one here for oh say $50 usa.

Hi Tom,
I looked at the IP in my WSM and there's nothing called a Rack
Damper Bolt.
Might MB use different terminology from what the "official" term
is? (which
we of course, use properly)
Thanks!

It's on the back of the pump, on the flat surface, towards the
bottom
driver
side corner. Look straight down between the oil filter housing &
the back
of
the pomp - it's the only thing sticking out down there.

You're asking the wrong person. I had to call my Indy to locate
it on my
300SD (it's on the very back...I think the only thing there, if I
remember,
that looks like a bolt going straight into the back of the IP and a
locking
nut). 12mm and 14mm - bolt and nut respectively.
This is a question for Marshall or some other guru.

Subject: Re: [MBZ] low idle and pulsating idle when engine (not
ambienttemp)iscold
Got to this yesterday. It (rack damper bolt) was all the way
in. I
turned it out, with engine running and things....changed. Went
all the
way back in and nothing - it's only when adjusting out that things
change
and you can adjust it. Very interesting. SO, I adjusted out
till the
engine stopped shaking (although my air filter is shaking like
CRAZY
AND
ALL 3 bushings are new AND still intact).
So, the car starts without having to push the pedal (not as
perfectly
as
before), no loping AND there USED to be a vibration (I thought
alignment
since tires were just balanced) around 75-80 mph. THAT IS ENTIRELY
GONE.
Aside from terrible filter shaking at idle (which is only
reading 550
on
the tach, used to be 750), the engine runs MUCH more smoothly.
NOW: Should I turn the rack damper bolt out even further to
reduce the
filter shaking and will that bring my idle back up?
Thanks,
Chris
