Man, .005 in backlash is tight! I usually don't go lower than .009 or so on the american cars.

Is this the requirement on Benz's?

Johnnie58

Factory Benz recommend 0.12-0.16mm my final reading was within specs at 0.13mm

Cheers man

Johnnie58

5 1/2 thou = roughly 0.139mm Maybe its an ozzie thing Hehe

QWKSNKE

No worries. Just surprised its that tight

Now lets see some burnout videos

Omg everyone that has done this is so right! In the words of my MB mechanic who installed this , yes John it's now a completely different car! And my god he was right , it just hooks up and accelerates in a beautiful controlled slide you can dance with it now poetically even! It's everything I wanted and such fun ! Best mod for the driver in some of us , best left alone if you don't like poetry

Wow !

Are you still losing traction?
My brother had a wavetrac installed recently and the thing still loses traction like no tomorrow. He has lots of torque and is making about 430whp. Could it be the cold roads/tyres?

mr747

at least you know where is going to go when it looses traction

I agree one of the best mods

Johnnie58

Yeah I'm pushing a shade over 500hp too so yes if you turn esp off and just floor it from idle , she will smoke however the difference is now she smokes and moves , but throttle off turns and intersections are such fun you can now steer with the rear and still gain Spd , much less esp flashing when esp is off or in sport esp too , it does transform this car into the most fun car I have owned ! I am super dooper happy ! And so is my dog

+1 True that.
