Re: 2015 GLA45 Initial Service

Also on the NVH front. I do think at some point in the relative near future I should buy and install the other two motor mounts since I feel like there's probably still more-than-intended NVH in the cabin. But that's probably a 5k or 10k from now problem for me, not right now.

Re: 2015 GLA45 Initial Service

Since I did order the angle indicator, do you know what the final camber is supposed to be? I just matched the passenger side for now with a level, so at least it isn't as wacky, but it still seemed like a significant amount of camber.

Re: 2015 GLA45 Initial Service

Top motor mount strut rattle is gone, seems smoother and better. I’ll know a little more after really test driving to ma in the morning. Doesn’t seem like my minor realignment made any driveability difference which I guess is good:

Re: 2015 GLA45 Initial Service

I did that. It does feel slightly excessive but not overly so for that size fastener.

Re: 2015 GLA45 Initial Service

I’ve made this confusing with torque struts and strut-struts. I’m most worried about the front suspension struts. The engine torque strut/motor mounts are fine with good’n’tite.

Oh yeah - torque struts came in and are installed already.

Re: 2015 GLA45 Initial Service

Thanks. Ordered. I did also already take a stab at realigning and got it now to match the passenger camber. There’s a ton of adjustability in the strut bolt holes - wide range. Interweb says 81 ft lbs for the strut bolts.
