Thanks, I remember seeing those before, will investigate further. I watched one or two clips on bowden cable adjustment, might try this also but suspect this is not the problem.

This is one very unusual S124, last of the line in '96 with mostly documented miles at 126k. The body rust wise is in extremely good shape, almost zero rust except for suspension linkages, what is really puzzling me though is how many parts have needed to be replaced.


Wheel bearings (front), center bearing, differential - all seemingly worn out, my thoughts are being the end of run they may have used sub-standard parts or something, someone mentioned they were made in other locations such as Mexico - not sure but I have just removed the rubber flange from prop/differential only yo find one of the bolts is not a match, different size head and thread pitch - this thing has never been touched so it must be factory??
