You forgot one crucial step. Take the washer off the differential
end shaft and put it on the differential end shaft of the new axle.

Dynamic swap disk? I usually fix mine so it won't add to fragmentation.

In my limited experience, the OE axles only fail when the boots rip and dirt
enters the joint. Those OE boots were quite robust and could develop deep
surface cracks long before opening a hole. Rebuild and third-party axles
had a poor reputation, at least in the past, so used OE axles from a wrec

Sounds like a perfect Q. Envious about the beer as State Park forbids it

Manfred and June were wonderful hosts for the FLQ today. The weather was
perfect! Beer was drunk. Stories were told. Cars were examined. And food
was eaten.
I really appreciate how everyone was so nice to myself and my wife. I truly
appreciate it!
Much thanks to all!

Thanks Roger! Good info...
The rears are pretty worn so I am going to do both pads and rotors without
trying to turn them. I am fairly certain the rotors can't be turned on my
case. I am replacing with Brembro ceramic pads and rotors. I will inspect
the fronts after I finish the axles next week.
I saw that and figured I would get to that later. New unit was installed. I
will verify the pads when I am in there.
Thanks!

Rick,
I would accept your most generous offer but unfortunately I don't feel that

double your misfortune, as I have done, then I suggest a paltry, nay
measly, €15,000. You see Rick, you must pay to earn this right. That shoul

It is becoming painfully obvious that you have purchased a poorly maintained
POS.
When it was repaired, it has been repaired with the cheapest, most inferior
parts
that were available. It the interest of relieving you of any more grief from
this less than
optimal purchase, I am willing to offer
Draining and opening the differential is not required if replacing a two-piece
axle with a two-piece axle.

Don't forget the parking brake pads. Rear rotor has a small drum in center,
parking brake assembly inside the drum.

Kyle,
In the 20+ years with my old 617s, it's always been basically replace pads
twice, on third time, replace the rotors also. Once I got 3 sets of pads, but
that was once. Should not be expensive on the 123. The rears go a long time
compared to the fronts (pads and rotors). As it seems with a
So, did I understand correctly that the passenger side axle is a non-MB
replacement, and that this is also the only one that is dead?
You _can_ turn a MB rotor, but there is a thickness spec and there's not a
lot of fat to trim. Turning them is definitely not on the 'always do'
list, like it is o
Ahhh. I had heard such things but I was pretty sure that was just talk to
get more of my money... Bummer. Rotors added to the list! At least my list
is shrinking now..

Mercedes rotors should not be turned. If they’re out of spec they should be
replaced. Rears are cheap, even from the dealer.

Andrew,
Clunking when I manipulate the hub, with the wheel off, from the cv joint
closest to the wheel. I can see the little bit of play before the shaft
starts to move. Knock\clunk when making left turns at 20+ mph also.
It started about 4 days ago at 35+mph left turn corners. Lightly and now

That is AWESOME Thanks!
Now I am going to do the wheelbearings and brakes while I am in there as
well. Pads are worn and get the rotors turned also...
Nothing like a new rear end! Whoot!
