    250es Drive Shaft noise normal?

    1985 250es -- I can hear the drive shaft at low speed -- sounds like a bus slowing down. No other issues -- is this normal?

    Look on eBay for the driveshaft. You will get a good picture of what it looks like. I don’t think they are serviceable

    Could also be brakes look into that unless you are 100% its the driveshaft still wont hurt to change the u joints if they dont take grease

    Check it out could possibly be greasable and be an easy fix

    You can just ziptie the rubber boot back in place not sure how they are attached but if you mess up whatever holds it on or if its wore out and loose fit zipties will help keep it sealed keeping dirt mud and water out
