If you move the mounts, springs and shims all over to the new car, they will bolt right up.
You can get your compensator rebuilt, too.

Is there a "kit" sold? I was considering just taking those parts from my parts car.
And where does one go if one decides to have the hydraulic compensator rebuilt? Any guess on cost? thanks |

Sure, parts car stuff should work fine. 250s and 280s had the same rear ends.
No idea on who would rebuild. You might contact Boge (manufacturer) directly: ZF Friedrichshafen AG | Startseite | Antriebstechnik und Fahrwerktechnik, contact (tradition@zf.com ). Black Forest in WI might have another (domestic) answer: 414-228-4899. Neither would be cheap. Used compensators pop up on ebay w some regularity, there's one up there for a couple hundred at the moment. |

Rebuilds easy to find but pricey
You can get rebuilt units from Tom Hanson at the Classic Centre, or for slightly less from SLS:

Not too long ago, I asked him and Tom will sell one under two circumstances; only if a rebuild able core is sent in (expensive), or if you send your 108/109 in to them for restoration, they will consider putting one on it (just a wee bit pricier).

I have a 1973 280SE 4.5 and my problem is when I make a sharp right turn I have a knocking sound from the drivers side rear. I also with have the same problem with I have two passengers in the rear seat (noise on drivers side, rear end). My car seems level, but does have a rear sag when passengers are in the car. When I'm driving straight, with passengers, everything seems normal.

Exhaust hangers would be my first thought.

But to my amazement the noise went away. I don't know if I moved something just enough to keep 'it' from banging or if the trouble was in the rear end. All I know is that I had this noise from the back when turning and then, after installing the spare rear end, the noise quit. |

rear mystery noise

The original top of this thread was spring helpers. You would get more responses by starting a new thread called rear mystery noise.
