1985 280SE Questions
I have aquired a new addition to my fleet. A very nice 1985 280SE with four speed manual transmission. I paid little for the car as it has a broken sway bar where the bar enters the upper control arm. I guess the years of service in Germany caused rust to accumulate on the bar where the bushings are at. Anyone ever changed one of these bars? Looks as if it is going to be a fun job.The body of the car is in really good shape with only a couple spots of light rust. I am really happy with this car and the little M110 engine runs very well and leaks no oil to speak of. I beleive the car is very unique because it still sports the Euro bumpers, no catalyst, and no oxygen sensor. This car was also built without factory air but was equipped with a dealer installed unit that uses a compressor very similiar to a Sanden. Will post some pics when I get some free time. Any sway bar help would be appreciated.
