And that flapping belt transmits the force of those pulses to the power steering pump and the AC compressor. The very expensive dual-circuit power steering pump on my '95 E300 developed a crack in the aluminum mount and also was leaking from the shaft seal at a mere 250k miles, I suspect that

Check the drive-train rubber (carrier bearing mount on the driveshaft, flex discs). Another thought would be a bad u-joint in the driveshaft. - Max Charleston SC On Sun, Nov 4, 2018 at 10:30 AM Peter Frederick via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Check for a thrown or
