Knowing government as I do.. somewhere, there is a protocol book which covers exactly the pecking order of titles when addressing members of congress and other elected and appointed royalty. I understand there was a law or regulation passed recently that makes verbal attacks on elected congress

Question for the W124 experts out there: Oldest son’s W124 (1992 300E 2.6) has been making strange intermittent “ticking” noises in the rear. It is slower than the tire rotation, occurs at hard (90 degree) right or left turns, from a dead stop and goes away above about 20-30 mph. I’m

What is your favorite pressure gauge? What type is it (stick, dial, digital, etc.)? How accurate is it? (I'll confess to being a stickler about accuracy.) What is its range? (I'm getting new trailer tires which take 65 psi.) Or do you just not care? Craig

Re: [MBZ] W124 Noises

Anything periodic is not suspension related, it's gotta be drive train. Differential noise is the only thing I can think of that is slower than tire rotation (spyder or carrier), everything else is tire speed or driveshaft speed. Do check for crap rattling in the dust shield for the rear

Re: [MBZ] Tire pressure gauges

My favorite for a combination fill valve and pressure gauge, is sold at Harbor Freight on sale for a bit over $5. It has the stick type indicator which ranges from 10 PSI to 130 PSI. I've tested it against my digital pressure gage and found all 6 I own to be within 1/2 PSI, which is close enough.

Just spent $9 at FLAPS on a Victor analog gauge. Compared it to the cheapo stick gauge I've carried in the car for years, they both read about the same (agree within 1 psi). Stick gauge has increments of 2 psi, analog gauge increments are 1, so you make more accurate measurements with the more
