value of 2nd engine shock
 
my 617 swap has only the driver's side engine shock because (i think) this 240D chassis lacks the bracket for the second. i wouldn't describe my idle as rough, but it's still surprising to me how much the cabin shakes back and forth when i'm at a stop. presumably i need to learn to embrace the shaking as a natural part of driving a diesel, but how much would welding a little bracket on to accomodate that other shock absorber change this?

You might be able to just replace the aluminum engine mount, I think that is where the shock attaches to. I should have one on ebay.

during my swap I have learned that I have no place to put drivers one
so I have only 1 on passengers side.

in general, engine shock has nothing to do with idle shakes,only
with start and shut down yank ease...

Is this a straight diesel or a turbodiesel?

If the latter, the issue of rack damper bolt adjustment and/or upgrade, possibly with some idle speed tweaking, comes into play if you feel bodyshell swaying at idle.

hmm, so perhaps it would not help much. thanks all. i will look into the rack damper bolt.

I suggest you call me.
There are many possible issues, I should be able to quickly point you in the correct direction.
