There are only two mounts. See section 35-040 and 050 in the 123 manual.

Not long if you don't get good lube in it. Probably longer than you can
stand to listen to it if you change the oil and it doesn't leak out.

I've got a 3.69, only used for 90k miles behind a auto tranny 240D
(talk about low load duty). I'm sure you'd rather have a 2.85 or 3.07

My 300 TD was singing and talking for quite sometime, at least 2 years,
before I have the rear end fixed ...even drove it to the shop to have it
fixed . I push the envelope a lot at time and sometime it is worth

Thanks, Bill. Think I'll replace the supports like Marshall suggested and
go ahead and drive it, at least for a while.

In my 82 300SD, it's mainly at low speeds, and is loudest at around
45 mph under light throttle. Goes away when throttle lifted. Audible
at highway speeds, but less so than at 45. Also, there's evident gear
lash. Mine is a confirmed worn RP. I would not think those come on
suddenly--mine's

ONLY at a narrow speed range is not likely a diff, I don't think.
It surely can be differential related and if it is, it's more likely

My 300SD has about 280k as well, and in spite of many folks
assertions that the diffs almost never wear out, mine is. Howls and
clunks something fierce. Eventually, I'll try and find
a good used diff to swap in.
