Turbo Diesel Motor Mount Kit (1977-1985)

FITS THE FOLLOWING: 116, 123, 126 Chassis 300D 300CD 300TD 300SD (up to 1985) with 617 5 cylinder turbo diesel engines. Have you noticed your Mercedes diesel sedan is recently shaking more at idle. Maybe you are noticing new vibrations that were not there before. You may have also noticed the engine makes some clunking noise when you shut it off. When was the last time your rubber motor mounts were changed. Diesels are especially hard on rubber mounts because of the excessive vibrations associated with the type of engine. If they have not been changed in the last 8 years then they most likely should be.

Even if they appear to look ok they may have hardened or softened over the years and are not giving the performance they should. This set includes both front engine mounts (2) and one rear transmission rubber mount. If you are thinking you do not know how to tackle the job I have the solution. I am selling this mount kit with complete instructions on how to install them. You will be very happy with the lasting results of this inexpensive preventative maintenance repair. Enjoy the ride!

Mercedes 123 126 Chassis H.D. Hex Socket for Motor Mount Removal

1/2 inch drive 8 mm long hex socket

 
Item: TUL-COM8MMMT
$8.70
Removing the front rubber engine mounts requires getting under the car and going up inside a hole in the subframe to remove the main bolt. And it can be a bear! I don't know who they hired to tighten these at the factory but he must have been a brute. These hex bolts are usually in very tight and you will need a heavy, strong and tight fitting 8 mm hex socket. Only 1/2 inch drive will do. You don't want to break off the tip nor do you want to deal with a rounded out hex under way up inside that channel... Talk about a big wrench dance...
