Jon has been continuing the work on my 500 SL this weekend, reassembling the rear axle. New mounts have been fitted to the differential and new mounts to the sub frame. He’s fitted new bearings to the hubs and support shaft before greasing up and fitting to the arms.

New bushes have been wound into the arms.

The handbrake shoes has been built up and new cables have been fitted and connect.
