My 84 SD's tail is draggin' REALLY..

I'd considered shoving spring helpers into it for the winter-- and may have to do so, as a cost thing.

The newly created 2" receiver hitch drags as I get into and out of my drive. (lots of stuff hits-- no surprise).

--but it's really too low to hook anything to, or put in the receiver.

I have a "bike carrier" that goes in my receiver.. Looks like I'm going to drag my bikes, if I leave them there.

So-- the rear springs and shocks will be replaced..

I understand dropping the differential makes it easier.

SO

I'm going to replace the diff carrier, flex discs, rear brake hoses....

What else needs to go, while I have this apart??

Anyone have a lead on new rear springs???

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: Brake Pad question

 

I found them on EBAY.I have a w126,and a w140.Both show no wear to rotors.Still alittle blackness on wheels but not as fast as stock pads.

Where do you get them? And is there a noticeable difference in rotor wear on a 123?

If you can’t find replacement springs can’t be found, the can be made up new. Bill in Oregon

My 84 SD's tail is draggin' REALLY.

I'd considered shoving spring helpers into it for the winter-- and may have to do so, as a cost thing.

The newly created 2" receiver hitch drags as I get into and out of my drive. (lots of stuff hits-- no surprise).

--but it's really too low to hook anything to, or put in the receiver.

I have a "bike carrier" that goes in my receiver.. Looks like I'm going to drag my bikes, if I leave them there.

So-- the rear springs and shocks will be replaced..

I understand dropping the differential makes it easier.

SO

I'm going to replace the diff carrier, flex discs, rear brake hoses....

What else needs to go, while I have this apart??

Anyone have a lead on new rear springs???
