Hi Rick:
I had the same problem on the 86 300SE Euro. A really rough ride.
Replaced the sub-frame mounts (easy) and the differential mount (easy)
and then where I still had what appeared to be a slight dip in the rear,
replaced the springs. Ride is as just as smooth as can be now.
Jonathan set me up with the new parts and I built a simple tool for
doing the sub-frame mounts.
That AMG may well have a stiff ride by design too.
