Re: [MBZ] was transmission rebuild / now vibration
Many of us on this list do the same as you regarding parts replacement. I was thinking that the unmatched shocks might be causing the vibration. Another question: How old are the rubber mounts; engine, transmission, differential? Many vibrations can occur that we aren't aware of if the mounts are in good shape. When the mount (mounts) are bad, all sorts of vibrations can become noticeable. I've had that happen more than once during the 40+ years I've been driving Mercedes.

Re: [MBZ] was transmission rebuild / now vibration
If the accumulators have gone flat the suspension cannot move, and the rear will bounce on the tires. You cannot jounce the rear of the vehicle, only the tires flex. You will not mistake this for anything else. However, low suspension fluid WILL cause noise and vibration as there will be air in the struts occasionally and they will knock just like worn out shocks and ride mushy. I know, because I just added a quart of fluid to mine. Cured the funny whine from the engine when cold, too.

Re: [MBZ] was transmission rebuild / now vibration
One good shock and one worn out one can sometimes cause serious wheel tramp, especially in solid axles (which are subject to all sorts of ills independent suspension are not). If one has failed prematurely, though, and the other is working well, you can replace them individually, but only with exact matches. They are usually cheap enough that pairs is not a huge extra cost and well worth it. Hydraulic struts are a different animal, and can be replaced individually if necessary. That said, it's unusual for one to leak (always from abuse) and the other to be in very good shape, they usually croak from excess dirt or driving for a long time with dead accumulators.

Re: [MBZ] was transmission rebuild / now vibration
and the sphere is bad, it should ride hard, but I would think it would be over damped, not underdamped. Yes, exceedingly overdamped. Damped like replacing the springs with a solid steel bar. The spheres are nitrogen-filled, they fail when all the nitrogen has leaked out and they're full of incompressible fluid instead. That condition can ruin the struts.

Re: [MBZ] was transmission rebuild / now vibration
The self-leveling rear shock is just a hydraulic cylinder and the damping comes from the restriction in the plumbing to the sphere. There is also a one-way flap valve in the piston head. There's a ball joint at the bottom mount, those can wear and get loose. They have wear mechanisms, but they should be very long-lived.

Apparently Qantas has been hiring pilots from NZ for less money, putting them in a Qantas uniform, and having them fly regional Qantas planes. This has become a point of contention in pilot contract negotiations. the Qantas pilots contend that the sterling safety record of the airline is due in no small part to the training Qantas puts their pilots through, and that it is disingenuous to allow non Qantas-trained pilots to wear a Qantas pilot uniform flying a Qantas plane. the idea is Qantas plane, Qantas pilot. there are probably other things like contracted work hour restrictions that these non Qantas pilots can avoid, making them cheaper, but potentially less safe. Anyway I was reminded of all this watching the delta video. not sure how it is turning out down under with Qantas, but obviously this Norwegian guy is just taking the whole concept of pilot labor outsourcing to its logical extreme. Personally I'll pay a bit more to keep the well trained, well fed, well rested guys in the cockpit. there are just too many things that can go wrong, like hitting the wall in San Francisco, or the rookie and high altitude stall on air France 443.

[MBZ] Leatherique
As we speak about suppliers and the level of service they provide (and how we, as customers, place a value on that level of service) I would like to share an experience I had today with George of Leatherique. Disclaimer: I have known George for many years and always been a devoted customer. I first heard about George and Leatherique products when I was working the Daytona Harley-Davidson rally with my wife (she was an executive with H-D at the time.) George was there demonstrating his products to bikers, showing how it could restore and rejuvenate their leather jackets, chaps, etc. As an aside George also mentioned what a great job it did on the leather in cars such as Mercedes and Rolls-Royce. After his spiel I spoke with him about being an MB enthusiast, and he promptly handed me 8 oz. bottles of Leatherique and Prestine Clean. I used them on my 300SD's leather the next week when I got home, and I was sold from that point on. On to today I ran out of Leatherique this weekend when I was going to treat the seats in my R129. I got online yesterday and ordered a 16 oz. bottle of Leatherique (I always seem to have plenty of Prestine Clean, for some reason.) When I got ready to check out, I was a bit taken aback at the $15 charge for shipping, along with a small ($1) handling charge. OK, it's a liquid which requires special handling and probably needs to be packaged securely, that's fair. I get a shipping confirmation this morning and notice that the package is being shipped via USPS Priority Mail. Hmm. That's a little fishy, considering that USPS PM is quite a bit cheaper than UPS, and I also had no choice at checkout. I'm thinking, is George doing a little profit taking here? So I dropped George a note and asked him what was up. Turns out he does normally use UPS, but with the weather of late they have not been consistent with delivery. Rather than let the product languish on a sorting belt or in the back of a UPS truck, he was shipping items USPS due to their willingness to guarantee delivery. Boy, did I feel stupid. George was quick to assuage my guilt in questioning his practices, and was very gracious in taking the time to explain things so I understood why he did what he did. He also encouraged me to contact him in advance of my next order so he could extend a courtesy discount, which I politely declined. This is the kind of business that gets my money, regardless of the cost of their products. Of course, their products are vey high quality as well. I will be a Leatherique customer for life as a direct result of George's business practices.

Dan, if you clean your seats like you detail your cars, would I be far off in saying that you remove and disassemble them for cleaning? I'm still recovering from your description of removing trim and other exterior bits in order to wax your cars. I think I will go to my grave astounded at how thorough you are. I do agree with you on the customer service. Last fall I bought a cheapo Chinese RC helicopter, 2.5 channels with infrared control, $20. It was defective, so I made a warranty claim with importer. They wanted me to ship it to them, some outfit in Ohio, my cost, so I did. They replaced my defective example with FOUR replacements. Apparently they know their product, I've only tried the first two, only one worked.

Re: [MBZ] Leatherique
Sort of. The R129 seats are really nice to clean, as the seat bottoms come out of the frames with two bolts. Makes servicing the seat motors and other stuff a piece of cake. Removing all that stuff is really only necessary on the older models, such as the W126, W123, etc. The newer models don't have a lot of trim and fiddly bits that interfere with waxing and cleaning. I just spent $500 for two new trees in my yard. I could have bought them from Lowes or Home Despot for far less, but I went to a local nursery who is well known for their level of service instead. The trees cost me about $260, and the balance was delivery and planting. They planted both today. My oldest son was home, and they went through all the care and feeding information with him. When he explained that he wasn't the one who ordered the trees, they called me and went through the whole explanation all over again. They also left written instructions on the care of the trees and an assurance that I could call them at any time, a week, month, year, several years, whatever, and they would be happy to answer any questions and offer assistance if needed. Needless to say, I have two nice new trees in my yard, properly planted and staked, and no mess or sore back to deal with. Money well spent.

I am not in the business to sell struts, but it seems like it is possible the old strut might allow a vibration to occur where the newer strut does not. We don't know the mileage in this case.
