1985 300d front wheel bearings
Hi I replaced front wheel bearings and races as a set, used good quality parts. when trying to preload the bearings as stated in manual The nut tightened untill there was no more thread but the wheel still moved very freely. There did't seem to be any play. but it doesn't seem right. is there supposed to be a flat washer between the nut and outer bearing. There wasn't one but I remember seeing this on other cars

83 CDT Garrett turbo
I overhauled the turbo using the mercedessource kit.
Had the turbo and compressor balanced.
Need advice on turbo compressor nut torque techniques.
I used the kit recommendation:
Nut touch the compression wheel, turn CW about 90 degrees using supplied 3/8 wrench and stopped when I judged force to be adequate. Balance marks aligned.
Turbo whine is noticeable when cold engine. Much less so when operating engine temp.
I judge to be a nut torque issue.

85 300SD w/ Trap Oxidizer engine shaking!!
I wanted to ask you guys about a specific problem I am having that has me concerned. A few weeks ago I replace the motor mounts, engine shocks and oil cooler hoses. I felt compelled to replace the motor mounts and engine shocks because engine shake caused the whole car to vibrate, especially when at a stop light. I then noticed that the circular pulley on the front of the engine was wobbling as it rotated. I have been reading Kent's material and I am beginning to suspect one of these things is going on:
1. Loose front crank bolt
2. The rack damper needs adjusting/replacing

1988 300TE Intermittant engine stalling, not restarting.
Kent, this car has been plagued with the same problem as long as we have owned it. (about ten years) I have done new points and plugs several times and the car has run better but it still will go through occasional fits of dieing in the road and not restarting. It has remained dead for several days and begun running again weather I have done anything to it or not. It has dropped in its tracks within 24 hrs of a complete tune up and it has gone 20K without a hiccup.
