Well, were they done properly? There's no inherent reason why a wagon wouldn't handle fine with a regular rear suspension. I'd be willing to bet that most of these conversions use stock sedan springs/shocks from a junkyard, which aren't stiff enough for a wagon. If I were going to do the swap

The Mercedes hydraulic system is great, and I can understand wanting to make it work again. I'm just trying to say that a regular spring suspension is perfectly fine, and works great on the majority of stock vehicles that use them. A 300TD with sedan springs is horrible, but it's probably

There's another option that may be somewhat simpler: plumb in another belt-driven high-pressure pump instead of the stupid timing-chain-driven MB pump. At least some of the W124 wagons have a dual-pressure, belt-driven pump (124-460-15-80 Vickers) for steering/self-levelling. That could
