hey Tom,

You're pretty good friends with Mistress, but she never looks in the Diesel discussion section. Given her avatar, (picture of the boobs that "won't bounce"), maybe her input could be invaluable in whipping this problem into shape

I think you should ask her to chime in on this one, don't you think?

There's a guy in OD a lot who has an avatar of bouncing boobs, they go up and down. Maybe he captured video of a woman sitting in your car?

This thread sucks without a video!!!!!


Just kidding....

It does sound like engine mounts. I would do as recommened by the others here. Post a video of the jiggling boobs, then replace your motor mounts, and your engine shock mounts as well.

I had the emgine mounts and engine shock mounts go out on my 300D, and it wasnt way to difficult. there is a bolt on the drivers side mount thats kind of obstruted by the steering box. Getting that out was the most difficult part of the whole operation.

I would also reccomend replacing the transmiddion mount as well. I did mine when I did the engine mounts. I found that the tranny mount was broken as well. A family member has the same problem on his 300SD. He had the engine mounts replaced, but the tranny mount is shot as well.....

Once I got mine replaced, the engine is alot smoother and doesnt shake the car much at all.

This has to be the fastest response and most responses to a simple question, 'gotta be the subject.

I think I'll try the same thing next time I sell a car, an ebay ad with something about my wife's boobs jiggling would get more hits than the Pope's car!

Yeah, I wasn't there but based on my knowledge of the car and the woman, it was left to right, up and down, and all around. What can I say... I was blessed twice over.

this is indeed an odd thread.. try adjusting your rack damper bolt, should smooth out what your referencing.

Oh man, I needed a good laugh! Thanks!!!

BTW, I second that!

Yes, We NEED to determine the exact frequency of this vibration.

Pa-leeeeze post a vid.

i bet you the oil cooler and lines need replacing too as long as you have the motor mount apart and out I still like 18 year old boobs that jiggle less i guess thats why we trade them in after 40 but alas i havnt seen any jiggle or not under my control in a while

We need a conversion chart:

Can I get a metric conversion? What would be the unit.

Also, could we spin off a synthetic jiggle vs conventional jiggle thread.


One last thought....if I adjust ALDA a quarter turn, does the jiggle go away......


Great humor here. I didn't know what to expect, although I need input.

Now we know where the "rack damper" got its name!!!

Good advice. Ironically named part in this case.
