bzztt.I'm not sure. Changed to the spare today, no thump
thump thump. Took the original tire to walmart, had them balance it-1/2
oz out on both sides. Drove the car with spare up to 70, all's good.
Changed back to original tire, drove back up to 70, still all's fine.
Left rear . Replacing it was cumbersome ,as is with swing axles.

My coupe has a rhythmic thump coming from the left rear. I jacked it up
and tried to shake the tire, do not feel any play in it. I tried to shake
the axle shaft, and it seems firm.

the axle shafts were rebuilt by the MBZ dealer in Fayetteville under the
p/o's reign.still a bad shaft? I'm wondering if it could have

im still going with shaft. You say rebuilt by the MB dealer? I dont
know of any dealers that rebuild these as that is very complicated and
required alot of expensive equipment. If they were rebuilt chances are
just new boots or something were put on. As I said, Im still betting on

There is a system. You dont want to go pulling axles and stuff from
your parts car right away, that is usually the last thing to come off
before the crusher. You want to be able to roll it around you know.

that doesn't mean I can't swap axles. It's not been fully a parts car
yet. If a clear title is secured, I may be in the market for a used
engine if I can't get this one running. OTOH, the CD runs well, just may
need a LR axle, hense the swap
No, I'm not buying an axle from you!
