I have a rattle noise from the rear tire area happening when I go over bumps but can't feel or see anything that is loose. I get a lot of compliments on the body and paint job. Here she is...

Flex discs? They are pretty simple and not too spendy. Figure a high mile FWD car needed CV axles or a high mile RWD needing u-joints.
PS pump is super easy to reseal. The kit is about $4.
A/C compressor on the M103 is a good design, just do not run it with no oil and it will live for years and years.
Check the shocks and sway bar links if it came with a rear bar... not sure if the 300E did or not.
