[W126 Coupe] Hesitance on driving

[jralex at ix.netcom.com]

I once new this but have forgotten which Optima battery to fit  the 560 Coupe. I think it is the 78/34R the R being for reverse pole position. Can somebody confirm or correct? What kind of battery hold down is used with the Optima? Thanks in advance. Jim Alexander

Talbir, Does the car have ASR traction control? I understand these can be problematic with differant diameter wheels  for instance. Now I could blame it on the steering wheel placement but this is no time  to joke, right. Jim Alexander

Hi Talbir:

You don't say if this problem existed before doing the work specified or if
it has appeared immediately after the work???

Regards,

Dick
