Hi, my 1981 P200e has recently developed a shimmy sometimes in 3 or 4th gears. Mostle when reducing speed and happens too when cruising 3rd and 4th gear.
Not on acceleration though.
Any ideas? Thanks _________________ J H

Driveshaft splines worn out, or the splines on the hub?

Will that show up as metal in the gear oil when I drain it? Thanks _________________ J H

Not so much, it's the rear axle itself. Take off the rear wheel, hub and all, and check out the condition of the axle splines.
