[diesel_mercedes] Throttle Linkage Service

 



FWIW ;

It's very important to disconnect each ball pivot and wipe the dirt and rust off the ball before lubricating each pivot .

I also use Q-Tips to clean out the female part .

Mercedes says to use ATF , I waffle with various lubricants , grease , light machine oil , ATF and sometimes (when I'm traveling and hear a squeak) engine oil from the dipstick .

The rod ends are easier to pop loose is you work the throttle slowly at the same time you pop them off......

Max,

A drop of oil on the 'bell crank' bushings (the other moving parts) helps too.

Just did mine, and it made a world of difference.
