Windshield

Buy a new windshield!

A used one could have chips and will certainly be pitted to a certain extent.

Rear Bushing Replaced!

Viscous Fan

Mine overheats once in a very long while too under the same conditions. My guess is the viscous fan clutch is starting to go south and it's operation is questionable at times.

Front Stabilizer Bar Bushings

1989 300E

Got 4 new bushings (2 for the left and right center and 2 for each end).

Just unscrew the brackets, take off the bar and slide on the new bushings or is there something else?
