1982 240D too much inside tire wear ??

Hi,

I have replaced everything steering and suspension wise except the steering box(which does have some play) and had the car fully checked over and aligned. I am getting very server tire wear on the two front tires on the inside. The tires don't even have 5000 miles on them and have already been rotated once. I brought this back to the shop and they said oh these old mercedes just have the camber set which tilts the tire and there is nothing I can really do about it.

1976 240D Manual Trans Stuck in Gear ??

Out of the blue, I am driving home and the gearshifter will not allow me to change gears, more like to get out of what I believe is either 2nd or 3rd gear. Anyone have an answer on what it could be? I don't want to have to get it towed and fork over $$$ to a mechanic, but if this isn't something I can fix myself, I guess that I will have to.

300SD with 420SEL Final Drive question

Kent,

I replaced the rear axle assembly, axles and final drive, of my 1983 300SD with one from a 1991 420SEL. I really like the result with one exception: the speedometer is off (something was wrong when I started passing everybody on the highway at 55 mph). I read somewhere that the problem would be fixed if I repalce the speedometer with one from a 420SEL. Does that make sense? The 420 has a speed sensor in the final drive, the 300SD gets it speed information apparently from somewhere else. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you
Dieter
