Greetings All,

We've reached the 3rd stage (of 4) of the mechanical rolling restoration for the car. For stages 1 and 2, check out my ownership experience thread here.

For this stage, I had planned to focus on the rubber underneath the car + replace the struts. The goal here is get that factory fresh, tight ride I was able to achieve with my 84 300D.

The good news is that the car's steering and braking is now very tight and precise. The suspension is anything but.

My planned replacements were:

1) Bilstein HD struts
2) MB sub frame mounts
3) MB front and rear sway bar links
4) MB rear differential mount
5) Tank fuel hose

Am I missing anything that can easily be replaced while doing any of the above jobs? The remaining suspension components are old but not cracked or failed. Up for debate is the merit in changing the spring top bushings and anything else you guys suggest.

Cheers!
