Re: [diesel_mercedes] Sagging Rear End

 

there are different thickness rubber bumper/spacers made to sit under your
springs, just for this.
My SDL had that. Added thicker spacer. problem solved.
ride and geometry stay the same.

good luck

Weak spring .These cars have the weakest springs,they need a muscle car
spring to replace.

With Spring trying to make an appearance here in the Heartland, the wife has
been 'encouraging' me to pull her 1980 300D out of winter storage. So this
past weekend, I open the garage door and notice the right rear is a little
low. My first thought was a low tire, which there was, but even when all
tire are properly inflated the passenger side rear is one-half inch lower
than the driver side. Now that doesn't sound like much, but it is quite
noticeable. A peek under the car didn't reveal any obvious problems. Does
this sound like a weak shock or spring?
