Re: [MBZ] 123 driveline clunking
my 300 CD did the same thing when I got it it was a really really bad diff. It literally had almost 120 degrees of play. not a prettty sight and not only did I have to replace the diff but also the 1/2 axels as well because 1 was stuck on the diff and would not come off no matter how much you beat pounded or heated it up. my indie said he'd never seen one that bad that didn't basically explode the diff.

Re: [MBZ] 123 driveline clunking
yea, my diff could be worn too I suppose, will probably replace the mount first though. Car has around 280k btw. John Ervine wrote: Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] 123 driveline clunking
I had the same sound in my 123 . MB Dealers in the Boston area wanted $2,000.00 but expect the bill to be about 3 to 4 hundred more ... Had the work done in Canada for $1,200.00 and billed six hours to do the job . replaced the differential gears, mount, and all seals . sounds great now Bill 1981 300 TD Kaleb C.
