I've owned 109's, 114's, 115's, 123's, 124's and 126's. You'll never the a
123 body Mercedes to be as responsive as a 114 or 115 body - the suspension
seems to be designed the same but I believe that the weight of the 123 body
is working against you. 

Of all of these, the 124 body Mercedes handles the best, mostly because if
the way the rear suspension is designed.

Thanks,

What he said!  The steering shouldn't feel loose, and that nut is the very
_last_ thing you should do.  I've never driven a
123 that felt as nimble as our 114 and 115, but that doesn't mean they don't
exist!  Our three 123's are all on the worn-out side of new.
