Interesting you should mention engine shocks. The mechanic asked me if I wanted new engine shocks as well as the exploded diagram of the parts on his computer showed them. However my car doesn't have them and there are no apparent mounting points for them. He couldnt find any trace of mounting points either so I think in my case they dont apply. I know the 300D is supposed to have them. Does anyone know if there is a certain year or engine/chassis number when these were introduced to 240Ds?. My car is an 81 and that seems to be a transition year for quite a few components.

My 1980 240D has one engine shock on the driver's side of the block; on the passenger side, there's not even a place to put one. Also, it has a center T-mount just behind the oil pan.

What is a center T-mount and what does it mount to?
