A little smakk for a support bearing. I would checka round the subframe attatchment points for any missing washers. It looks like a washer designed to capture some rubber busting of some sort. does it look machined? or stamped/forged? I don't know these old cars...

Newbie needs guidance;Any advice?
I saw your posts and I am curious as to why you swapped out the rear. I could also use any advice anyone might have on this topic,too.
I am looking to do something similar to a '68 250SE (looks just like yours-cream white exterior). My car has a floor mounted 4spd. manual which has a very looow first gear (which is too low for around town use)and trying to cruise on the highway means buzzing the engine pretty good. I purchased a 3,27 ring and pinion set and 'found' ($0) another rearend assembly identical to the one in the car (both have 4,08 ratio stamped on side of housing). I have the MB factory repair manual. I've set up several domestic R&Ps before, so I am somewhat confident that setting up this gear set shouldn't be too big a deal (famous last words, I believe!). I know enough from reading here to replace the swing-axles rubber boot. Are there any other parts that I should count on having to replace? I saw a post which referenced a 'sliding sleeve'-not sure what that is. Thank you for your help!
