Re: Mercedes E63S thread

Alignment. He installed my camber bolt in the forward thrust arm, which is incorrect. I don't know why he did this. He should have installed it in the main spring control arm and adjusted it to pull inboard. He said he pulled the adjustment inboard on the thrust arm for what that's worth. WIS has a ...

Re: 14 E63S: forged wheel search

Last shot on the factory wheels. 20240518_075512.jpg This is the only shot I have of the new wheels and I will explain why, somewhere. 20240518_103918.jpg The tech actually popped the center caps out from my old wheels and installed them in the new ones. I said I might buy the black 5 spoke center c...

Re: 14 E63S: forged wheel search

Some pics. It seems like the more expensive one from PA (I say more expensive because it was an extra $10 plus shipping as the delta cost) is heavier.

Re: 2017 GLS550 135k Service

That's a common leak. It's just sealant. The passenger side is easier. Probably have to remove the boost pipes which can get stuck down at the turbos. Driver's side will probably require removal of the oil filter adapter and maybe oil cooler. It would make sense to do new seals on ANYTHING you distu...

Re: Caprice engine swap?

Just a few short years later and that's it. Engine, transmission and rear axle was pulled. Maybe a few other odds and ends. It was junked yesterday. Here are some pics.

Allow me ...
