Getting the 300E back to snuff
Hello everyone. I have a '93 300E that has barely been driven for the past 18 months or so (fortunately it's been covered in a garage when not being driven). It basically gets used every few weeks for a little bit. I'm likely going to be driving it regularly in the next six months or so and want to fit it up a bit before doing so.
Basically, it feels sorta worn out. I replaced the shocks with Bilsteins and replaced the steering damper about 50,000 miles ago and the thrust arms about 30,000 miles ago. Otherwise, the suspension is stock. I'm going to get new tires soon; the old ones are worn.
I'm really looking to get that tight-handling feeling back; right now the car has difficulty tracking well at freeway speeds, and just feels "loose" for lack of a better term. I'm tempted to just do an entire Sportline suspension upgrade, but that seems a bit extreme. Even though it would be nice.
Any suggestions for what should be replaced? Where do I start? Thanks in advance for your help.
-Mike
