Your car has pressed in bearings not a hub assembly like most cars they are indeed pressed in and if done incorrectly they will fail fast thanx Chris

Its needs steering system overhaul.The rack (Rod) & pinion & change of steering bush required pls.

this could be an alternator noise like the bearings.or it could be a bearing in the super charger.try changing the oil for the super charger and see if it helps especially if it hasn`t been changed.

SOME CARS AND TRUCKS HAVE HUB AND BEARING ASSEMBLY OTHERS ARE REPLACEBLE BEARINGS ONLY DEPENDS ON MODEL

sorry to here that but no it has to come out and change the clutch release bearing

the problem you are describing sounds like you have a loose rod bearing which is common on a engine with that many miles on it and under excelleration yes!! it will knock with it knocking to that degree for any lenght of time! putting new bearing in won;t fix it!! cause damage to the cracnshaft has already arose you will need to pull the motor and change the crank and bearings or replace the motor

There is a wheel bearing inside the hub as well. They will sell those bearings I've bought them before. Chances are you need to talk to a better parts guy. You can tell if it's a wheel bearing by taking the vehicle up to a speed where the noise is clearly audible. Then swerve the vehicle back and forth in your lane. If the sound changes or goes away when you swerve, it's a wheel bearing. Obviously we're not trying to crash the vehicle here, so don't get over aggressive with the swerving.

You sure can! Having worked on Volvo's, BMW's, and Audi's as an independent, I feel your pain!

3.6 hours at 125 dollars per hour dealer time and shop fees equals 600 dollars.

If the inner and outer bearing race is packed properly (with recommended grease), and torqued to specification with a torque wrench, there is no reason that you cannot perform this simple repair on your own!

Be sure to buy the bearing race(s) from Mercedes (do not skimp!), and have access to the factory manual from Stuttgart.

If you go to the Mercedes .de site, you will be able to get technical dealer assistance should you need more information. They will also provide you with a wholesale distribution outlet stateside so you can buy your parts at a 15 percent discount to that offered by the dealer.

Best of skill---take care :)

unfortunately your bearing assembly is a sealed unit and you have to purchase it as a complete part. they do have a way to change out the bearing at a shop, however the labor cost involved would most certainly be alot more than a replacement it's self. I have come across this problem many times and it's not as easy to switch them out as you have been told. i hope this helps. (note) to repalce them on your vehicle if you don't do the work yourself have a small shop do it not a dealer shop. the cost will be alot less. the labor time should be no more than 2 hrs. that is roughly about no more than 120- 150 dollars for the labor . if the place you take it to quotes you way more than that take it somewhere else... good luck please rate this
