Somebody had posted awhile ago about wear points in the rear of a W201 that
would make the car wander, especially in high winds.
My car is starting to exhibit those sympotms, it was worse when the tire
pressure had gotten out of line but its still there. When I get a good
crosswind the car feels like its squirming down the road. Its not bad, in fact
my wife doesn't notice it but I drive the car every day and its definately
getting worse over time.
I've got a maintenance window coming up (ie I'm going away so my Indy can get
at it) so I want to get this taken care of.
I'm also going to get the A/C taken care of. 134a but I live in New England, I
haven't had any A/C since I've been driving my Mercedes (so 4 years now) so
anything would be an improvement.

Those still break too... you just don't get the common 'cracked housing'
problem. My aluminum servo broke its water valve, which caused it to
internally fill up with water and never flow hot water to the heater core.
