I've just got a '91 300E and I have to change the struts, your video was very helpful. Thank you.

[@CarswithNash]

@@LeylandFiveTen Glad to hear. Enjoy your new car.

[@vabeachwaterboy]

This is awesome Matt! Very thorough and will help me a lot.

[@CarswithNash]

That's great to hear, I really appreciate feedback.

[@jasonpaigedumont]

Thank you SO much for this video! It enabled me to change out the struts in my newly acquired 1993 300E with no problems. Much appreciated!

[@CarswithNash]

Great to hear! Thank you for the feedback.

[@outseeker]

i like how you let us know maybe don't try this ourselves without lots of upper body strength, then 5 seconds later we see you stepping on the wrench lol :D
if i do this job, i am definitely using my legs!

[@CarswithNash]

Yes, definitely look after your body. I actually have back problems myself.

Awesome, greetings from a cold, miserable, rainy Auckland.

[@CarswithNash]

Thanks! It’s about the same here in Canada today.🇨🇦

[@greggschuder7478]

Great video, man! Thanks for showing some of the struggling. It really helps understand what you are doing. Your tips and details were great!

[@CarswithNash]

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.

[@michaelmurray7379]

Really good video. Just posted this on a R129 group as it has the same setup.

[@CarswithNash]

Thank you. I really appreciate that.

[@deanlabounty8226]

Awesome!. Love your videos Matt. Happy you held onto this classic, looking forward to seeing it again.

[@CarswithNash]

Great to hear! I will have a bunch more videos coming up on the car too, I’m trying to go through and get everything up to par because I have some long trips planned in it.

[@johncross8834]

Great video you make it look easy many thanks from UK

[@CarswithNash]

Thank you so much, that’s nice to hear.

[@lekubaka]

Great job. Thanks!

[@alanOHALAN]

thanks for the video, now how do we change the rear shocks?

[@CarswithNash]

Mine had freshly been replaced when I got the car so as soon as I get a opportunity to replace a pair I will do a video.

[@alanOHALAN]

@@CarswithNash ok great

[@BMWyCia]

Wtf ??? Nobody noticed the american v8 in that engine bay??? That car is such an sleeper my friend👌

[@CarswithNash]

Thanks! I love this car, just did a road trip in it yesterday.👌😎

[@ivanwhisker6932]

It's realy not the original merc engine probably had more power that that thing

[@cph3459]

Um, is that a Ford engine in a Mercedes?

[@CarswithNash]

Yup! A healthy little 302 I put together years ago and I have a built AOD behind it and a differential from an '08 Chrysler 300. The original M103 was completely worn out and slipping transmission, so this was the solution.

[@redpig1120]

Turn the wheel out

[@CarswithNash]

Oh you mean for better access to those lower bolts? Yeah that makes sense, sometimes I’m a little thick lol!

[@ivanwhisker6932]

Why has this w124 got a shitty ford engine in it how insulting putting crap like that 8n a mercedes

[@CarswithNash]

Yes, having twice the power and a transmission that actually performs is really annoying.

[@mybnz190]

Your putting KYB struts on! I’m no longer watching this vid…that’s pure garbage struts

[@CarswithNash]

Don't know what to tell you, but the car rides amazing with them.
