Hello all, nice to see another good MB forum going strong. Ima visiting from Benzworld.org and daily drive a:
'84 300D Turbo Diesel
210K Miles
W123 Chassis
3rd Loving Owner
Lots of records, pretty well cared for
A work in progress of course, but I just finished a complete rebuild of the front suspension (rear looks all sagging now  ), steering and brakes. Probably dropped a good $1000-1200 at Autohaus in the past 6 weeks. Anyhow, worth it! This baby drives SO much nicer now.
First question: I couldn't find the torque spec for the Outer Bushing Hex Bolt on the Lower Control Arm. Consequently, after driving 150 miles (unavoidable) and a gradually worsening vibration/clucking noise I probably ruined the Left Outer Bushing and possibly the Guide Rod as well. I am looking to replace these again soon, but still can't find the torque spec. Anybody PLEASE have this? Benzworld always blows off these types of questions.
Second question: Where is a safe/secure place to put the jack stands? Last time, I put them under the holes where the emergency jacks goes. It seemed secure enough, but resulted in some minor cosmetic damage to that area. Easily repairable, but I don't wanna push my luck.
Thanks in advance!  |
