Installing Hitch, Need Advise (1987 300D)
Has anyone ever installed a drawtite hitch # 24558 on a 1987 300D turbo?
Im having 1 installed on Friday and the shop says it fits 300E, 300CE and 260E. I wonder if the back end of those cars is different than my 300D ?

I just put a dalan- curt hitch on my 84 TD, and the muffler rattled against it- so I cut off the muffler(it was rusting thru) and added a 3" cherrybomb(shorter) and re-worked the exit from that, no rattle, and I cant really tell a difference in sound.

These pictures should show you the correct way to install a trailer hitch:
