Thanks guys. Yes I'd love to see some details regarding the rear suspension repair, very nice to help me figure this out!! Email is paul at gruvenparts.com, and no I havent replaced anything on rear suspension yet. Im scared too! I did have a peak in there last time they were balancing rear tires and I can see links with bushings hanging out. Im assuming its all got to go. I did replace a front spring (with wrong height, apparently), but I had a shop do that once I saw it required 10,000 lbs per inch of compression. The old spring was broken in half and wedged into wheel well, God knows how it flew out of there when they released the lower control arm.
As for taking trans out, maybe I can do it on my own. I know its a heavy beast, Id kinda rather drop off the car somewhere and come back few days later with job done...correctly...1st time. Im a slow learner, and that benz seems to be pretty specialized in such regards.

hahah funny thing is the everything related to WVO part of this car is fine. Doesnt seemto be hurting engine, or its not obvious. Its just the rest of the car falling apart, guess thats to be expected after 280k hard miles. But I'll be the 1st to report a problem caused by WVO, dont worry. In 30k miles there just hasnt been any.
