Slowly but surely I'm bringing my E420 back to life. (Picture of the car is below finally) I know there have been posts on replacing the trans mount on the 320s but not on the 420 (different looking mount) for the 124 so I thought I'd post my experience. Attached is a picture of the shot mount with the rubber completely disintegrated. The replacement takes maybe 10 minutes with proper tools. (jack up the transmission, remove center link, replace mount)
Now to the question I have. I still get a vibration through the car when the compressor is running. It's a low drone that's rhythmic in its frequency. I can't think of what else it could be. (tensioner maybe?) As of now I've replaced both engine mounts as well as the trans mount. Any input on the issue would be great.
Thanks!
