126 front end hysterics
Last summer the right guide rod mount went south on my '84 300SD and it developed a clunking noise in right front end. I took it to the dealer and it was replaced. Car was fine for about a month.
Then the sound appeared on the drivers side. The dealer replaced the mount on the left side. Car was fine for 3 days. Noise returned and I took it back to the dealer who replaced the ball joints and the steering damper. That lasted for 1 day. Now the dealer says that the front end needs rebuilt (what's left after the stuff they replaced? ). The bill?......about $1500. I need opinions here. Let me know what you'd do! |

Get another opinion. Several.
Why could the dealer not inspect the front end first to determine if the overall condition was at a point of needing a rebuild rather than doing it piece meal??? Your time is money. Let THEM pay for the front end!!!! Viel Gluck
