Absolutely.
Changing the struts and control arms would almost certainly have the
toe way out, and the caster/camber could be goofy as well.

Got a question for the list - anyone out there happen to know the speaker
sizes in a 1992 300D with the Active Bass System stereo (aka Becker radio
and 6 speakers)? It's not the Bose system, and I'm getting a buzz from one
of the speakers and I think after 15 years it's time to replace them.

IIRC, the dash speakers of all or nearly all MBs are an odd size (2.5X9 I
