[W126 Coupe] Coupe Drive Shaft vibration

[Egill Gudmundsson]

Hi all, 

 

I think this subject has come up before but I’ll give my 2 cent to the
conversation.

 

I kept feeling vibration from the drivetrain during acceleration and it
progressively got worse. 

I just had a local Mercedes specialist take a look and it and the rubber
that houses the bearing was 

completely torn causing the vibration through the body. 

 

It was about a 3 hour job and the cost was as follows

Center support                 $80.00

Bearing CTR                        $19.44

Hanger X type                   $8.80

Labor                                     $315.00

 

After Changing the above parts all vibration is gone. 

 

Thanks

Captain

Subject: [W126 Coupe] oil changes

 

A few days ago there was a question on oil changes when putting a car up for
winter.  I believe the general consensus of opinion was it’s not necessary
if you are using a synthetic such as Mobil 1.   My question is aren’t there
contaminants that build up in the oil such as acids because of starting and
stopping driving?  I was always under the impression that changing the oil
rather than have it sit  5 or 6 months is a better practice.  Can someone
tell me that’s not true so I don’t have to spend all that money each fall?

 

Thanks, as always-
