Mercedes Benz repair: reynol3@clemson.edu, detali, mb2


Question
I have a 1985 300D Mercedes Benz. Something in the suspension is not right. The car’s handling becomes "loose" at speeds of 65+ mph. It often "floats" around like some part of the suspension is worn out. What should I look for when I inspected the suspension? Thanx for any help.

Answer
Answer:
You will need to read most of these links to do any  inspection.
The local MB dealer will charge one hour labor to inspect your steering, and supply a list of what is bad.
Note:
Only the MB dealer can correctly align your car, a special tool and training are needed.

I suggest you contact the South Carolina MBCA for local shops.
