Local shop that recommended tires ( given project car would be stilling an is only driven @ 5k in past year). Local shop suggests pulling drive shaft and U joint.

Read Dave Zeckhausen`s white paper on "Brake Bedding', and perform that procedure. Was your steering giubo ("Flex disc") ever replaced ?

The side walls can get a soft or hard spot in them that is hard to detect visually. If you can find a shop that does "Road Force" balancing it may be detected by the machine. Basically while the assembly is being balanced, a wheel that will put about 200 lbs of pressure on the tire to check it.

  • Iniezioneiniezione the Newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club
    IniezioneIniezione The newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club Words by Fred Russell Chili Sulla Spiaggia Photos by Gordy Hyde The driveway and parking area around Fred Wright and Kathy Lombardo’s wonderful home outside of Olympia had more Alfa Romeos than ever before. As I pulled in with my Sport Sedan, I saw another Alfetta Sedan, 2 Milanos, and a 164. Counting the other non-Alfas there were at least 7 more cars including Fiat 500s, Miatas, and more. All these cars had arrived carrying people, chili, and cornbread for the annual NWARC Chili CookOff & Cornbread Contest. The home is located on a beach along the eastern shore of Totten Inlet. The area used to be the stomping grounds of the Squaxon tribe that lived just north of the inlet near the current town of Allyn. On the 25th of May, 1792, the area was explored by Peter Puget as part of the Vancouver Expedition. During his visit to Totten Inlet, he noted “… we found abundance of small oysters. In this [inlet] were many beautiful spots. The low surrounding country, though thickly covered with wood, had a very pleasant appearance.” I’d say we agree since it was equally pleasant for NWARC, and experts note that the nutrient rich inlet pro- duces some of the best oysters found anywhere. The club’s history visiting this location is a little shorter, but equally as notewor- thy. Fred & Kathy have hosted this for a few years but each one has become more crowded than the previous. This year, we had 10 different entries in the Chili CookOff.

Luckily for us independent service providers, Mercedes-Benz has done an exceptional job engineering and building a remarkable, mostly problem-free driveline. That said, the driveline is not maintenance-free -- there are components that need to be inspected for damage during routine maintenance and replaced when they have reached the end of their service life.
