[MBZ] Strange Noise in 78 240D

Howdy, My 78 240D has been making a strange noise. It doesn;t seem to get worse, it;s just bothersome. Once above 15 or 20mph I hear a roar - like a large (huge!) fan is running - when the wheel is turned even slightly to the left the noise stops (instantly) then when straighted up the noise

Re: [MBZ] Strange Noise?

It would be good to know what sort of car you are inquiring about. That said, on the 123s there is a rod that goes from a ball/socket deal on the firewall to the suspension (brake rod, brake support strut) and the ball/socket can clunk like that when it wears out. Replacing the ball/socket th

[MBZ] Strange Noise?

Question? Does anyone know what could be making the clunking (thud) noise coming from the front tire area when I press on the brakes just right or anytime I go over speed bumps, hit pot hole, etc? It is a sound that reminds me of a tie rod issue I had with a VW super beetle. Any help would be

Re: [MBZ] strange noise

On my 82 300sd I had a squeaky (turkey call) sound coming from the steering column when I turned in 1 direction.Dielectric grease on the horn contacts under steering wheel stopped it. I don't think you are to do it if you have an airbag. Track rod bearing mounts on my car made more of a clunk(o

That's kind of how it works. MB basically said, '' Lizen you peple, ezer you zell exclusivly to us or ve von't deal vith you. No moore zeling to WD's or rezellers. '' So, some OE companies went along with this because the market share was so small anyway for some older car parts. The Classic cen

I probably overpayed. But my rule of thumb is to call Rusty. If I find that he has jacked up his prices and is screwing us, then I will go elsewhere. Until then it is nice to know I can pick up the phone and talk to someone who knows my car much better than I do. But of course, sometimes Gary a

I was talking about this sort of stuff with the counter guy at the local import parts shop today. They have an associated German-born wrench who goes to Germany twice a year to buy used cars and used engines, etc., and he just got back and told them the parts prices in North America are now HUGELY

This happens with the wheel turned just a little past center, half way around, or pegged at the stop? Of course, I have no idea regardless, but we always ask for more information! On 8/23/05, LT Don <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > As suggested, I topped of the power steering reservior with ATF. Noise

[MBZ] strange noise (revisited)

As suggested, I topped of the power steering reservior with ATF. Noise is still there. Looked at my Performance Parts catalog (sorry Rusty, but/and I just use it to look at parts breakdowns) and there is a part in the steering called the "track rod mount" that looks (?) like it might have some
