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!!!!
