If you have an old shock absorber bushing handy, this does the trick.

Drill a small hole in the filter housing and mount the rubber bushing between the housing and the cam shaft cover, be careful not to have the bolt potrude through the rubber so it will rub on the cam shaft cover, metal to metal. With the cover on you can see where to mount it by inserting tightly in the gap.

Works great.

I did this also, on my 300SD. I used one of several already broken rubber housing mounts lying in the bottom of my toolbox, and I agree that it works GREAT! Reduces the bouncing around a LOT.
