The 116's idler arm needs new bushings - thanks to some gorilla in an

It now moans and groans on turns.
I bought the repair kit and have been procrastinating - busy, too cold,

I'll be looking at a 1972 350 SL "project" car tomorrow.
Any suggestions of what things I should watch out for?
Were there any problem areas like rust in specific places?
Its been sitting for 4 years, and has not been run in that time.

Is it indeed true that the DOHC 6cyl in my 280CE requires valve
adjustment periodically? Thank you.

My non-dealer MB shop says my 2000 S-430 needs to have its "air sensor"
replaced, for about $400.  I asked is that were the same as the O2 sensor,
and they said no.

Went on a road trip last weekend, and after driving down a steep
canyon, my car became LOUD! Really only at idle speeds, when I speed up
it's much better. But the whole car now *shakes and is incredibly

Hi. I am in need of a shift position indicator cable for a 1967 250s with

Brakes seem strage- on depressing the brake pedal there is an
oscillation/vibration  sense- it improves if I power wash the front
wheels...does wheel cleaner or tire polish cause brake dust to cake inside
