Re: [MBZ] New motor mounts bad?
The mounts are made by Boge, hardly aftermarket. All German rubber sucks, it always has. These have a 1 year warranty as all our parts, so check them out and if they are bad we will replace them.

Rack damper spring? I had to replace it on my '82 with a newer version, but your '92 should atlready have that. There is no damper on the IP. The 190D with manual transmission has a damper on the IP. (Not the rack damper bolt, and actual little hydraulic strut.)

Re: [MBZ] New motor mounts bad?
The new mounts I got from Rusty for the Snookmobile 300D are still fine after all these years. When I installed the factory reman crate engine in the '76 300D, I bought new mounts from the local indy who got them from the dealer in Kansas City. One of them collapsed on letting the engine down. I looked everywhere else for that rattle for two weeks before looking at the obviously bad mount. On Sat, Jul 16, 2011 at 9:47 PM, Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] New motor mounts bad?
I have had new MB Factory parts from the dealer fail immediately too. Not motor mounts, but other things. Even MB is not above and beyond gremlins, shoddy suppliers and human error The new mounts I got from Rusty for the Snookmobile 300D are still fine after all these years. When I installed the factory reman crate engine in the '76 300D, I bought new mounts from the local indy who got them from the dealer in Kansas City. One of them collapsed on letting the engine down.

Re: [MBZ] New motor mounts bad?
The tranny mount was my guess as well. That drove me nuts on my 79 300TD after the engine mounts were done.

Re: [MBZ] New motor mounts bad?
Its true that dealer parts fail. I once had a rebuilt power steering pump leak more as soon as I put it on than the old one, but overall I've liked dealer parts better, especially rubber. More likely to get a newer revision part that's 100% what Mercedes wanted it to be.
