Re: [MBZ] E300 dizzel steering

Maybe Poos can loan it to me while I sort out this thing.  I'm actually 
thinking it might not be too bad.  Or just drive it and let it be 
however it is, or sell it to someone not too discerning.

Funny as in I just watched that scene in Goodfellas again.  Joe Pesci is
the greatest.  And another fave is after they beat the Made Man to a pulp
and all go to visit Tommy's mom to borrow her butcher knife.  Priceless.

I pulled out those bushings and all 4 were shot. Ordered new ones, will see if 
that tightens up the steering. I don’t want to loose my steering.

Re: [MBZ] E300 dizzel steering

[Rich Thomas via Mercedes]

I jacked up the car and took a look at the steering.  I think it is OK, 
but the rack was moving around, like a quarter inch up and down when I 
moved the front wheels and just jiggled it, which was giving the slop in 
the steering.  Looks like these rubber mounting bushings are shot, cheap 
easy fix,  I'll order some and put them in.  You can actually reach them 
easily from under the car, wonder of wonders.


https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mercedes-rack-and-pinion-mount-bushing-e300-e320-e420-e430-e55-amg-2104631066

I'm guessing I need 4 of them for top and bottom each side? Anyone 
know?  Maybe they got banged in some energetic collision, but nothing 
else looks buggered so maybe it is just these bushings.


If that solves the problem this might be a decent driver even with the 
banged up fascia.  I'll see if I can get a shot of AC juice in the 
system and see if it BLOWS ICE COLD.


Hm maybe I ought be charging KLEB more for it...

It is telling me the engine needs servicing and the CEL is on, along 
with some nanny telling me some light, but not which, is out.  Is this 
car going to need the Poos system to troubleshoot it?  Or is there some 
secret codes you can punch in to get it to give up lighting secrets?  
And CEL codes?  Will my little thingie I have for the trucks tell me 
anything or do I need the German Enigma machine?
