[W126 Coupe] Question

[Dick Spellman]

   1.   Check tires
   2. Check rear differential fluid level (refresh if it has not been done)
   3. Check drive shaft center support bearing for play (again if the
      flex disks and support bearing have never been done, they are most
      certainly due now with the 110k mileage)
   4. Check various engine drive belts for tension or wear issues
   5. Check replace any belt bearings that may be dry
   6. Check the alternator for noise with stethoscope or wood stick


That's all I can think of.

Regards,

Dick
