If you have the tool, you can somewhat easily do it in a day. And yes, my
201 lived in massachsetts for years. I actually had to replace the entire
rear subframe due to rust. Surprisingly, this and the two front LCAs got rid of
most of it.
You'll need a floor jack, jack stands, some really big so
can't do it myself I need to wait until a maintenance period (ie a time
when I don't need the car for awhile) before it goes to the Indy. Is this
something dangerous or can it wait?

Rear subframe mounts on a 201/124 are much more difficult for the DIYer
than on 123/126s.

Does anybody have a writeup on subframe mounts? My 190D needs 'em and I was
thinking of doing them myself. Good excuse to buy a floorjack I think.

Interesting. I do not see any tire wear, I noticed the noticeable
camber as the car was going down the street. It just looked a bit too
much, but maybe I am being too paranoid about it since this is a new
car. Put that with what seemed to be a bit of floaty on the highway at
speed. Did a pr
You can patch things along a while by putting some twist-in spring
spacers for a while. It will take 2-3 for each spring. This will
reduce the tire wear on the inside.

Subframe mounts, as others have stated.
This is a pretty easy and relatively inexpensive job.
A bit of brute force, but if you plan in advance and
soak everything well with penetrating lube you'll be
fine.

Subframe mounts, at least, and maybe/probably the trailing arm bushings too.

So on the new 300SD the rear seem to be a bit squatty, and wheels look
like maybe they have some
excess camber? Or are they supposed to be like that? Driving the car
on the highway at 70ish it seems to wander just a tad, I'm wo(a)ndering
if both might be indicative of rear subframe mounts nee
