Hello everyone,
I am working on some of the final steps of restoring my 84' 300SD and one of the last steps in the suspension.
I have purchased a lot of the stuff already (from the source of course) and the rest my Benz insane brother gave me.
Here is what I am doing and replacing to get back the newer ride and handling like when it was new(er). Any advice or missing items, I would sure appreciate before I get things torn down and and advice or thing to watch out for would be good also.
Front Bilstein Comfort Shocks
Front wheel bearing replacement kit (both sides)
Front Rotors, pads,shim kits and sensors
Support rod repair kit
Lower ball joints
Tie Rod replacement kit
Upper control Arms (both sides)
Steering Idler repair kit
Steering shock absorber
Rear - everything looks fine so I just got a pair of Bilstein replacement comfort shocks also. The links and the rest looked ok but I am open to suggestions.
I know I have a blown front shock up front and the steering is a little vague on center (sloppy on center like most old cars get).
Anyway... any advice or thoughts on anything I am missing would be greatly appreciated. Especially on the order to do the front in that would make sense and keep me from taking things apart multiple times would be really great.
Thanks
