Lower ball joints, center driveshaft bearing and support, front and rear driveshaft flex disk, air suspension, engine and transmission mounts, and change the transmission fluid every 40,000 miles and rear end oil every 80,000 miles. Change brake fluid at least every 48 months.

Not bad being this car had a lot of service before displayed on the lot ..i put it on my lift and seems its all good as far as ball joints ..i did notice a little oil seepage around the cam sensors ..as far as the drive train all looks great all the way to the axle all mounts good ..Thanks for the reply

You do realize that your car is a W211 not a 212? You'd probably get more responses in that forum.
