hi guys, I´m rebuilting my R107 engine and I´ve found everything I need, except the connecting rod bearing set 1st oversize which is 51.75mm (std is 52.00mm). Anyone could please help me. thanks

Tried to change a track rod end at weekend on the 1997 E300TD ... Only to find that my ancient ball joint splitter does not fit these ball joints. :( Can anyone recommend a suitable tool at a fair price. Thanks. John

I may be able to get a gaiter for the steering rack from a W124 E300, but I need to put my old track rod in the W124, if they are the same I just swap my old track rod and gaiter in one piece and get the gaiter from the W124? Cheers. Olivier

I need one W210 track rod gaiter./ rubber boot. Its for a E300TD. Cheers. Olivier

Hello, I need to change a tie rod on the E300TD, what is the spanner size needed for the end that goes into the steering rack? Or is there some other tools instead of a spanner that I can use to un-screw it? Cheers. Olivier

Any tips for removing the half moon plate that sits under the rear wiper arm? Also, when replacing the rod that runs through the load cover, do I simply take apart the handle and it will slide out of either end? I've taken photos but it won't let me upload them through the iPhone app.

Hi friends, just failed the MOT on my '03 w203 due to excessive play on the offside tracking rod and ball joint. Decided to get both sides replaced: MB stealership estimate £385 excl geometry and Indy says £175 inc basic tracking. should i go with the indy or shop around? by the...

Hi all, I hope everyone is well. I am trying to change my steering gaiter. I have managed to undo the lock nut after much pain! The track rod end started moving very easily, however has now got stuck. It is seized! Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove? Regards dokalj

Hi all, I hope everyone is well. I need to change my o/s gaiter. Does anyone know the size of the nut holding the track rod end? It is either a 21mm/ 22mm or a 23mm. Maybe even 20mm. I don't have these sizes. I hope someone can confirm. ML270 CDI (2003) Regards dokalj

I will be replacing the NS track rod end tomorrow. I'd be grateful for any tips you may find useful. Thanks.

Where is this rod located on the suspension? It has been a long time since I was underneath the car and it's still tucked up in my garage. My suspension is jacked right up at the back and as I had a slight knock when going over bumpy roads I think it may have broken or fallen off. I know...

Hi all Not a regular poster but here for some help and advice. I have a E320 04 plate that has been squeaking at the front end. I knew it was suspension related and in all probability a dry bush of sorts. This weekend this has turned into a "knock" when turning the wheel and pulling away and...

The title says it all. While fettling my front brakes on the E300TD, I've noticed what appears to be excessive play in the inboard tie rod ball joint on the driver's side. Is this a common problem ? So far, I have not removed the boot. Is there lube in there ? Is this adjustable ? Do they...

anyone ever experienced it? only ever heard of one case. happened me yesterday, left one snapped at the thread resulting in me headin straight on into a ditch. absolutely gutted. havent looked fully yet, but chasis seems to be straight so, bit of elbow grease sweat tears and cursing should see...

Had my track rod ends replaced on the C55 today by MB as part of the MOT (under warranty thankfully). My steering wheel is ever so slightly off centre as a result - should they perform a geometry check and wheel alignment after fitting new track rod ends!?! I don't think they have done, although...

Barely two months after replacing two wheels because I hit a kerb which also involved having the OSF track rod end and ball joint replaced and steering geometry realigned I get it back from the MOT today with an Advisory Notice from the testing centre that there is play in both NSF and OSF ball...

Pulled in to the retail park in Bracknell this morning and found some sort of GTG for street rods (?) in progress! Some fabulous cars, unfortunately I only had my phone so pics. are not brilliant but you get the idea. Baby BTB was ecstatic, particularly when they started firing up one by one and...

Sorry for darkening this forum with a motor from the darkside - but I came across this motor when accidentally browsing bmw - it Rod Stewarts old 7 series.... BMW 750iL INDIVIDUAL TV SAT NAV + WATCH VIDEO + NO RES! on eBay, also, BMW, Cars, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 12-May-09 20:00:00 BST)...

... was reported on a health check from my local MB dealer. Just tonight I noticed it making a noise on hard right lock. Does £225 all in sound good or bad for this (2000 W215) and how urgent is it?

Can anyone Help? Is Item number 35 a Track rod end? Is it advisable to replace both sides (I have a M.O.T failure on drivers side) Thanx in advance Regards Joe
