I would also check the front spring perches on that model, to see if they are corroded/seperating.
The rattly cat maybe worth mentioning to your dealer as well.
Maybe you'll get lucky , with the dealer that is.
Hi old buddy, and it sure is good to be back!!!

The dealer also has a 2000 E320 that I'm looking at as well. Its a silver on gray whereas the 98 is a silver on black (which is the color combo I'm really looking for) so I'm not 100% sure which one I'm going to get. There's only a $2K difference between the two so I'm really trying to get the one which will due us the best. The mileage between the two differ only by 4K miles so I'm really trying to decide between the two. Hey, did the 2000's suffer from the same balancer problems the older ones did?
