I did my 300D last May.....Ball Joints, UCA's, Tie Rods, Drag Link, Idler Bushings, LCA Bushings, Anti-Sway Bar Bushings, Shocks, and Guide rods.....then took it to the MB Dealership for alignment.....and then took it to my tire place for a pair of new Goodyears on the front.....had the tires that were previously on the front re-balanced and moved to the rear......WOW, what a difference......
It took me almost a year to collect up all of the parts, from our own Fastlane Phil......but it was most definately worth the wait to do it all at one time, saves a lot of repetative labor, and screwing around with that damn spring....
......I used the Advance spring compressor.....a real PITA, and dangerous.....
