...on my 300E with 196k miles on it. I don't think any suspension components have ever been changed.

In order of importance to ride quality, what should I look at? Springs, shocks, damper struts, bushings, steering damper?

I'm not looking to lower the car, I want to keep stock look as much as possible. What would you all suggest?

Thanks for any input!

BTW: I have a "rattle" sorta like a jingle coming from my right rear wheel when I hit bumps. Sounds like something shook loose back there. Any ideas what that could be?
