Hello all,

I have been experincing the notorious W124 floaty rear end. My 1986 300E will nose up when I nail the throttle and to stay straight I have to steer in the opposite direction to correct the counter steer. I researched this and bought a new set of Bilstein HD's and all new main suspension links for the rear (4 for each side). I went to change them out today and saw that the subframe mounts are allowing about 1 inch of free movement (thats why the rear end would clank!!)

I live on the Penn State campus and highly doubt this would be something I could do in the parking lot. I bought the subframe bushings and was wondering what labor would be to replace everything meaning the subframe bushings, 4 rear suspension links and the rear shocks. How many hours estimated? and what are some current indy rates?

Thanks guys, I want to drive home to Connecticut for thanksgiving without feeling like Im being pushed side to side by hurricane force winds on the highway.
