Hi everyone, hope you can help. I've just got rid of my 190E for a W124 300D, and all's well apart from a few handling issues...
- At anything above 60mph, it seems to sway and weave quite badly
- It tramlines slightly at all speeds, feels like a slight tugging through the wheel
- It feels like there's some play in the steering, maybe an inch each way
- In reverse, there's a loud knock from the front over bumps
Now the knocking over bumps makes me think lower ball joints, and that could also explain the weaving and tramlining, does that sound like the place to start? And are they replaceable without replacing the whole arm, because it seems bloody expensive at £120 a side!
Thanks
