ok this is a couple of questions that you might be able to help me with as my dad has just bought this old motorhome which is based on a merc 208d
it's a nice old bus in pretty good condition but i'd like to help him out with a couple of small improvements (he's 78 so getting a little more feeble than he realised)
first i'd like to be able to retrofit powersteering as he's realised it's going to be heavier than he'd like, so any knowledgeable folks that can suggest other (maybe later) mercs that i can rob the needed bits off would be appreciated
secondly it's got a lot of bodyroll, it's got a single wheel rear axle fitted with anti roll bar and what look to be "3 leaf" rear springs along with most likely the original 23 year old shock absorbers (skinny little oil filled ones i guess), if anyone can make a knowlegdeable suggestions there, again it would be appreciated
Thanks in advance
Pete
