Question1983 Mercedes 300SD - Seattle
I have 2 questions - the first is - I have a rough Idle - all the sources that I can find tell me that if I have a rough idle that it is likley the rack dampener pin --- so I bought one - now the question is how to adjust it - or do you just put it in...? any advise I can get would be great - I have the 126 repair CD and it for some reason does not have this. Let me know.
Also I have a slight sag in the rear end. I chased it with putting in new spring (coil) new shocks -
Rather than chase all of this - is there an easy way to level the car?
Thank you for your time and expertise.
Mark

Worn out control arm bushings may also cause sagging and/or tire wear.

Worn and/or damaged front end components effect the way the vehicle sets.

The rear spring upper rubber cup comes in various thickness, 8 MM, 13 MM, 19 MM, for adjusting rear height.

If the front torsion bar breaks, your car will set strange, and be hard to control.
