Buy your parts here and save
steering damper at Mercedesshop.com: $30 retail., for you, $19.87.
Not $60.75. Plus, of course, tax. Dealers are not normally the best places to buy parts. Some relays MIGHT be more durable I have heard, but this sort of part you should buy online, NOT at the dealership, unless you suffer from economic masochism.

front end rebuild
Quote:
I have to add my cars symtoms .02. (85' 380SE) When driving actually costing at 35-45mph and I hit a mild bump as in a manhole cover. The R/S front end of my car start to shake violently (Moreso wobbling) until I either brake or give it gas. Moreso on the R/S but one time is was the whole front end. I'm new to Benzes but the front end has new lower ball joints, and Bilstein HD shocks. What could this be leading to replacement wise?? Thanks, Chris
