Going to look into adjustment of that as my next step. Car runs great, just to much shake at stops. I'll report back if I make any discoveries. Just to let commentors know, all filters are done and an independent MB shop adjusted the valves.
Replacing mounts wont cure a shake, but it can darn sure cure lots of irritating noise and vibration from it. Getting them freshened up is a good step though.
