knuckle) is cracked but not open or leaking (other side shows no such
cracking). Mercedes sells a boot kit ( 1165860433) for this joint.
Don't waste your money.
I bought one of the high end models, and it was worthless.
Used paint at an alarming rate, made a mess, and deafening to use, even outside.
I Freecycled it when I moved. Didn't even bother to try and get so money out of
it.

If the lifter is bad, probably no harm in continuing to drive it. If it
recovers, which I think out will, keep using the M1.

FSM says you must replace the joint; boot kit is only used if you damage a boot
during installation.
Your idea may result in a joint that fails and your front wheel falls off.

you will notice the front end wandering, sloppy

It could be called ripple, but it's more identifiable than
that. A bad diode will result in approx. one third of the DC
missing.
At least, that's what I've seen.

My cousin has a roller handle with a pump and suction hose, you manually stroke
it to bring more paint up to the roller. I'm sure it was cheaper than a Power
Painter, and assume there'd be less splatter from a roller than from an airless
sprayer.
On the E420, was that the one that was parked

Don't buy one. Rent one at the local tool rental place. The
consumer-grade sprayers are junk. Check out a few and try to get one

I have used the rental bulk sprayers, and they are, without question, the only

cover a far greater area in much less time.

I second the roller that holds paint in the handle, kind of like a big
syringe. I think they are about $20 and work very well for large areas. In
addition to reducing trips to the paint bucket, the long handle lets you
reach almost anything without a ladder (and that really speeds things up).
