Re: [MBZ] Too bad they messed up the interior with their "redo"

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

Yes I was almost all over it until I saw what they did to the interior. If it 
was cheap enough I guess a person could put the proper seat covers on.

I love the puffy clouds.  Seats look like they were smeared with peanut
butter about 25 years ago, then left to dry.

I've got Barum (Contis)on the CLK350 and the E300D. So far so good. We will
see how they do through a 7th level of hell hot summer. Plus, haven't
driven in rain yet either. They are cheap. Not noisy.

SWMBO did mention the tire pressure light did come in on her way to work
this morning and she got it rectified at lunch. We will see.

>Anyone have need for a never-used early 124 spare?  This is from Wilton's

300D, and it does not have even a hint of use, looks brand new.  Has a
Pirelli tire mounted, but I suspect it is about 29 years old and so the
tire is NOT road-worthy.  Even has what look like original MB wheel 
weights.


Anyone prepping a 124 car for a concurs competition?  This is the spare
tire you need!

Contact me for pictures, make me an offer.

If I put this on my car, all the rest of the wheels would like like total
crap.  This thing is so nice and perfect it would be a shame to put it 
into

general use.

Used for the win. You could change them several times per year and still
come out ahead. People switch tires for all manner of silly reasons. Most
shops selling them stand behind them. They recycle the rest into concrete
and basketball and playground surfaces.

Re: [MBZ] Tires

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

There's quite an industry around here selling used tires on Craigslist.  You 
search by your tire size and get a bunch of returns.

To be honest, I have been tempted a couple of times, as I have seen some really 
nice high end tires with minimal wear going pretty cheap, like under $200 for a 
set of four.

Re: [MBZ] For Sale: Really Nice 124 Spare wheel / tire

[Curly McLain via Mercedes]

Anyone have need for a never-used early 124 spare?  This is from Wilton's
300D, and it does not have even a hint of use, looks brand new.  Has a
Pirelli tire mounted, but I suspect it is about 29 years old and so the
tire is NOT road-worthy.  Even has what look like original MB wheel weights.

Anyone prepping a 124 car for a concurs competition?  This is the spare
tire you need!

Contact me for pictures, make me an offer.

If I put this on my car, all the rest of the wheels would like like total
crap.  This thing is so nice and perfect it would be a shame to put it into
general use.

Right  ... so ... find a cheap cheap W115 because the heater fan stopped
working.

Let Chuck Norris go in through the speaker vent ...

Then get back a W115 with working heater fan, but completely destroyed from
all the kicking.

Step 4) Profit?

Re: [MBZ] Tires

[Jon Agne via Mercedes]

Some of the best snow tires I have EVER owned.  I did not have the studded 
tires, and I got 55,000 miles out of them.

Re: [MBZ] Ball joint(s) 1985 300D

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

Rusty used to sell a front suspension kit, do it all at once for several hundred bucks and then you're done with it for another 20 years. I'd think the handling would get very scary before it wore enough to come apart catastrophically. If you plan to keep it for the rest of your life, starmarked is probably the best, unless you can buy the OEM part made to the same specs as the ones they ship to MBZ.Northlake has two very different front suspension drawings on their web site, is this the right one?

Re: [MBZ] Ball joint(s) 1985 300D

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

Michael,

There is a risk that the ball joint will completely fail, at which point
you rapidly transition from a driver into a passenger, and Bad Things
happen when that wheel comes off.

In your shoes, I would get that joint replaced ASAP.  I had one get
questionable, I had squeaking going on that I could not diagnose, and then
one day the steering got a bit funny and "Ah HAH!" I knew that was a ball
joint, so I had the car towed to my Indie for repair.

Have the other joint evaluated, if the boot is compromised it must be
replaced.  If the boot is intact, a good MB mechanic can check the joint
for play, and then advise you accordingly.  If no play, really no need to
replace it unless you want to be proactive.

I think the issue was that generally Clay would "fix" something on Gump,
and then fall back on his Indie to "un-fix" and properly "repair" Gump?  ;)

[MBZ] Ball joint(s) 1985 300D

[Michael Esh via Mercedes]

My left/ drivers side lower ball joint is screeching and complaining every time 
I go over a bump. 
Is this normally replaced in pairs or can I just replace the one side?
Is it ok to continue driving the vehicle until I have the part replaced?
I seen prices from $17.00 to $44.00. I plan on driving this vehicle for many 
more years and do not want to do this again. 
Any recommendation on a supplier and manufacturer would be appreciated. 
Thanks,
Mike

I thought it was just the heater core on the W115s that cause all the
issues. Your indie makes it sound like the entire car is a problem.
