  1. How do I get my E class to handle better?

    Most of the E-Class cars have sufficient spring rates for sporty driving but they have a lot of body lean. This makes handling at speed uncomfortable. While the best way to work with this is to increase spring rates, this will stiffen the ride. But by using our Performance Sway Bar Kit, part number 32-210, you will control this body lean.

  2. Is there an alternative to those expensive AC Servo’s for my early model Mercedes?

    Our Digital AC Servo Kit takes about 2-3 hours to install but you can once and for all Eliminate an expensive “70’s technologies” design and replace it with a modern day plug and play digital servo mechanism. Want all the details? Check out this info and install guide for all the details. Part number 83-500.

  3. Do you always have to replace the entire wiper transmission on a single arm Mercedes wiper blade system?

    We now have available the white plastic wiper gear as a replacement part. This gear was never available before and the only way to repair a worn or broken gear was to replace the entire wiper transmission unit…an expensive part to say the least. Depending on the model, this could run anywhere from $500 to $1000. A relatively easy repair, this wiper gear can save you a lot of money. Part number 86-109. Call for details.

  4. My seat belts on my 1985 380SL are always falling behind the seat and I have a difficult time reaching them. Is there any fix for this?

    The 1975 to 1981 SLC’s had a great seat belt holder that attached to the seat headrest posts and held the seat belts for easy access. These fit perfectly onto any 1973-1989 SL. Just release the headrest posts and pull out to install the belt retainers. Should take you no more than 5 minutes for both seats and it works like a charm. Part number 91-062.

  5. I had brand new pads and rotors installed on my Mercedes-Benz. There is a slight squeak when lightly applying the brake pedal. Is there a fix for this?

    All Mercedes-Benz authorized dealerships apply a paste to the brake pad (non-contact surface) to reduce the vibration that causes most of this brake squeak. Comes in a small packet…usually 2 packets will do the job. Part number 42-243.

  6. The bumper moldings on my 1986 300E Mercedes are faded. They were black but have turned an ugly shade of grey. I used Armor All on them but it doesn’t do the job properly. Any better method to fix this?

    Although it’s messy to work with, Forever Black is a product that will once and for all restore these bumper moldings (we call them impact strips). It’s good for just about any black faded trim on your vehicle. Part number 883039.
