Good day people...this is my first post so please be gentle with me...
Bought my '81 200 (W123) last week and very pleased I am with it.
But there are a couple of questions I have for you learned folks.
1) when I steer the car into left hand bends there is a noise like squeeling brakes . It doesn't do it steering right and the more left you steer the more squeely it is...catch my drift?

2) how easy is it to remove and refit a front wing?seems to be bolted but how does it attach to the sill and front valance.


Bye for now...Lee

As per Television, sounds like a bearing.

Jack car up as if you were going to remove the front, right wheel. Grab it top and bottom and alternatly push/pull the top and bottom in order to check for play.

I know the feeling, I have been fixing the inside light switch on my V70R for 4 years
