Spring tune up on 300SD
Just completed the first ,feel-good, phase of my spring tune-up. New Bilstein shocks all around accompanied by Bridgestone Turanza's LS-H's. I was suprised at the change in the ride. I would best describe the previous ride as more like a Lincoln vs the new feel which is very firm and responsive.
Also installed new Bosch Euro's with Narva H4's and H3 golds. Everything you all said about Euro's is right on. Now I feel good. Next phase is a Diesel Purge followed by fixing up a couple of leaks and the air cleaner bracket. And I'll be ready for two seasons of delightful driving. Thanks to everyone for keeping me on top of the issues we face with these old cars.
