[MBZ] Tie rod goodness

Been busy with things this weekend, so have not updated the list about adventures in tie rod end failure-ish. I took Polei to the PnP last week and on coming back to the car, noticed that the front wheel looked a bit cockeyed. That was not going to be good news. Not interested in towing it

You bet. I can’t use this axle, so I’ll sell it to cover a portion of the cost of one that does fit. Just got done cleaning up the three Euro headlights. I’ll be swapping the new Bosch lenses off of the ones on the 350SDL and putting these back on it with the vacuum leveling. Gotta runs

Re: [MBZ] Rebuilt CVJ Axle - 1st Gen W126

I was confused. I thought he had two sets - one W123, one W126 and he mixed them up, giving me one from each. In reality, he had two axles - both W126, one for first gen models, one for second gen models. I have no need for a first gen axle, as it won’t fit any of my cars. The second gen

I have a rebuilt axle from CVJ, the premiere axle rebuilder, that fits a first gen W126, specifically a 1984 300SD. You need to verify the application/fitment with CVJ BEFORE you buy this axle. It's a CVJ part number A74310 and fits a 1984 300SD, that I know. What other W126 1st gen models it

All my vehicles get a good coat of neverseez when the wheels are off. The VWs can be right buggers even after 6 months. Usually bouncing the 5# hammer off the tire a couple times gets 'em to let go but I never feel great about it. If they're coated its no problem... Which reminds me I should

You Canuks are lucky! You should be able to get lugnuts form a junkyard. They seldom sell any, so they should not be expensive, especially if they let you take em off. Randy Bennell via Mercedes April 17, 2017 at 11:11 AM Saturday afternoon, my wife and I

Re: [MBZ] How far and how fast >>>

I love neverseez! On the 99/00 dogde vans, the rear brakes were drum with factory metallic linings. If the van sat for a long time, like over winter, the drums would rust to the brake shoes. The would only break loose backing up. one year I must have skidded them 50 ' backwards before they

Re: [MBZ] How far and how fast >>>

I stripped a lugnut on my Dodge 1500 a year or so ago while rotating the tires. Autozone had a replacement, I think it was like $30, so expensive for a single nut but its all chromed and pretty so I guess not so bad. Why 150#? That seems high to me, seems like they'd be the devil to get off on

Re: [MBZ] How far and how fast >>>

My great uncles were way back in the woods one time and blew a tire on a Ford F150. Got the lugnuts off but couldn't get the aluminum wheels off the steel hub. They put the lugnuts on loose and drove for like 2 miles with no change. Some loggers finally came by and broke the wheel into pieces

Re: [MBZ] How far and how fast >>>

My Jetta has a disturbing tendency for the lugnuts to go loose. Its not always obvious what has happened when it does it, the last time only the driver's rear wheel had gone loose and only a little. It developed over a week, it tapped occasionally for a few days, then more and more and finally

Re: [MBZ] OT porch for sale?

The 944 was a relatively standard car from a maintenance point with the exception of the clutch and transaxle being in the back. The Turbo was more like having a M117 stuffed into a W201 chassis. Far more complexity and much less space to do anything. On Mon, Apr 17, 2017 at 10:46 AM, Floyd

Re: [MBZ] How far and how fast >>>

Yes take a couple from the full wheels, if 5 you can get away with only using 3 for a little ways so you can get 4 total if you need them. I wouldn't just use 2 unless it is a 4lug wheel. --FT On 4/17/17 11:57 AM, OK Don via Mercedes wrote: Depends on the urgency of the situation - are you

Depends on the urgency of the situation - are you stranded and NEED to get somewhere else RIGHT NOW? Then I might try it, though at a very slow speed. Otherwise, rob some nuts from the other side of the car and get at least two on each wheel, then maybe drive up to 25 MPH (pulled the number out of
