At any rate, I have no reference point but at idle this thing vibrates a lot, more than I would expect. I've run it with the fan removed, same thing. Off idle it's not bad but it does vibrate a good deal at idle.

Comments....things to check...someone give me some feedback on this thing.

OK, you have a
Model: 300SD
Chassis: W140.134
Years: 1992-1993
Engine: OM603.971

* Is the shock old/damaged/chattering? NOTE: This part has been superseded four times due to chatter, MB# 6042000214

* Is the spacer washer in place?

Use Loctite 24205 Threadlocker Medium on the bolt threads..
