Hi,

I have seen someone telling that the original Mercedes engine or transmission mounts can make a difference compared to other brands. For instance you might not solve the vibration problem even though you change the mounts only because they are not as good as Mercedes mounts.

I wonder your experience on that. What do you think? Have you got rid of vibration or shaking after changing the mounts with any other brands? Can you suggest a specific brand in this regard? Are German brands like Febi or Swag good enough?

On my 84 300D the genuine Mercedes engine mounts are made in Turkey by a company called Phoenix, The Mercedes Star, Mercedes part number and the Phoenix logo (that is angled differently but resembles the Chevrolet logo). Lemfoder boxes the Pheoenix mounts and grinds off the Mercedes star but the part number and Phoenix logo are still there.
I go by Diesel911 on the peacparts forum
Swag is a good quality company. The original timing chain tensioner rail from my Engine is made by Swag. However, The Lemforder Motor Mounts used to be easy to find and at a good price. Amazon and eBay used to have them as well as some other part sources.
