Diving into the Suspension for 95 e320 wagon
So after test driving cars the past few weeks, I've decided to hang on to my wagon for a bit longer. I've pretty much done the biggies for it myself (main wire harness, head gasket (had a shop do this), and transmission reverse rebuild) and many small things since owning for 8 years. The suspension has not been touched since I've owned it. I could always "live" with my suspension but I want to get it better.
Suspension Issues: 1. Clunkly feeling over potholes, seams in roads, cracks 2. Swaying in the wind feeling when at highway speeds What I've done: 1. First year I bought the car I replaced the front shocks with OEM shocks with the shock bumpers. Helped the clunkiness a little but not as much as I hoped. But hasn't really got worse since then. What I've read to replace: 1. Accumulators 2. Rear Control Arms (eight I think) 3. Front control arms (I read mixed info on this but I think my 95 does not have replaceable Under the Car Inspection: Nothing seemed really "loose" or obviously cracking. Just all looks worn, old, and hard. The SLS is still working just fine. I've read may post that folks dive into the system and replace $1k of stuff with ok results to someone replace just the accumulators and it was a night a day difference. I'd like some input for what to tackle first for the most impact and work from that point (all the parts seems resonable in cost...so this shouldn't be a factor). Also ease of job would be nice too. Anybody in MN wanna help for food and beer ![]() Last edited by berryrice; 05-01-2012 at 12:04 PM. |
