123 Suspension Torque specifications ??
123 '83 300D turbodiesel:
I am rebuilding the front end on this car and need torque specifications to properly replace the nuts and bolts in the front end. I am installing new shocks upper a-arms, sway bar bushings etc. If you have the specs available please give me a call at 310-291-2035. My car is in the shop right now and the technician asked me if I had any of the specs.
Short notice I know and I appreciate any help you can offer.
Thanks,
Michael

1984 300D Cruise control issues
Hi all. Hope the New year is being good to everybody. I work this site for all I can and have read every question that pertains to my particular car and have gained so much knowledge. I am grateful to Mercedessource for providing this great data base. That said my question is, that if I set my CC at about 62 mph and around 3000 rpm it works fairly consistant. I say "fairly consistant" as eventually it gets a little jerky. If I don't set it right around those values it runs even more jerky. It surges and then backs off again and again as it tries to compensate for rises and dips in the highway. I have read about the amplifier under the dash and loose ball sockets in the linkages. Has anyone had similar symptons and addressed this specific quirk and what was your experience and outcome.

85 300TD rear main seal...what else to do?
I changed to 5W-40 synthetic and am now leaking from what appears to be rear main seal. For the sake of my question, let's assume it is (and is not the oil filter to block housing or cooler lines) and assume I take the engine out to fix it. BESIDES the items listed in the transplant guide, are there any "may as well do's" while the engine that has 190Kmiles is out anyway? Compression is 320/320/310/290/300psi COLD and oil pressure at 1.75 bar at 85 degrees C after a hard highway run....is a ring job/crankshaft bearing "cheap rebuild" worth it with those numbers?

1984 300D- Noise under the car ??
Just a few days ago, there are weird noises under the car, like when springs go bad, also a clicking sound on passenger side when I increase the speed, not the idle. when I hit the brakes it also makes some sort of swishing noise, any help would be appreciated. Thanks

240D Purge turned green
Did a purge on my son's 240D last night and the recirculated fluid turned green any thoughts? I presume algae.
