[W126 Coupe] low left rear end question

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Tom,

Check the archives for 'gansta lean' which covered all the typical 
issues with your off stance chassis.  I replaced the sub-frame bushings 
and the differential mount on my 300SE a few years back and this 
resolved the lean you describe.  In my opinion it was the differential 
mount causing the problem but, I did both jobs at the same time so don't 
know for certain.
