Smelly provided a replacement front hub (with all the trimmings). Still a gutless pig, I worry about the continued health of bugs flying near my rear window. My first 240D slushbox driving experience, this must be what everybody's talking about. I think I'll stick to sticks, myself. What a difference! I wonder why there's a trailer hitch on this thing? Seems rather impractical. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.striplin.net For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net
