Thanks Marshall. I didn't think the subframe mount
would cause that either.

The car handles pretty tight. It is just binding noise
that concerns me. I do have the new links - you were
talking about the rear sway bar links not the rear
camber struts, were you?
Do the subframe mounts really need the special tool to
RR?

Every time I have to replace a half-shaft!

Marshall,
The brake hoses (all 4 of them) and the rear calipers
(ATE) are new. I never changed the differential fluid
for whole time I owned this car (from 100k to now
250k). There was no leaks or anything last time I was
under the car. I am hoping some new differential
mounts may solve the

Does W201 use the same differential mounts as the W124
or other models? I can find the mounts for W124 at
Rusty's website but not for W201. Also, is there a
particular reason you used W202 subframe mount in lieu
of the original W201 mounts just part availability
issue?

The 202 subframe mount has been used to suppress differential noise in
201 series cars almost as soon as they became available. I believe they
now supersede the 201 subframe mounts.
They sort of do. One set was a 202 part
That's what Rusty said when I just talked to him.
There is no differential mount for W201 at least the
190Dt. Four sets of bolts and washer hold the
differential in place. Could the washer be something
like this -

The washer is a boring old flat washer.
Well, would this new finding suggesting the subframe
mounts have collapsed and caused the change of the
geometry of
No, it is a longer one. It reaches both upper lower bolts.

Was that a big job? How long did it take you to do it?
If lubing the calipers pin do not help, I may have to
look to go in that way.

Unfortunately, I dropped that subframe enough that I could get it
dropped in under a half hour, and
