1979 Mercedes 300SD
1979 300SD IP Rack Bolt Location?
I am in need of help. I just purchased a 1979 300SD from the original owners. It's a clean car but needs some maintenance. One of which is the excessive engine rocking at idle. This is common from what I'm told due to a worn rack damper bolt. Problem: I can't find mine. It's not on the back cover like all pics I have seen on the forums and DieselGiants site. Nothing on this pump looks like what I bought. Any ideas? Did some IP's come without an external damper? Check out the attached photo to see what I'm seeing. Please help I'm a total novice to MD's but love them none the less.
Thanks, Jimmy![nix](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/nixweiss.gif)
P.S. I did adjust the valves and do a compression check (all cyl's @ 273 psi)
