Hello all, I am a new proud owner of a 1984 300D Turbo that I have inherited from my father. The car has 142K on it and is running very well.

My problem: When I put the car in drive, the rear end drops about 1" and I can feel it hit a bottom. When I put it in reverse, the rear end rises about 1". Is this normal? As far as I can tell, there isn't a hydrolic level system on this car.

This forum has been a great help to me so far in understanding the diesel engine and the 'quirks' of the 300D's. Thanks to everyone for all the great info.
