Often, the pinion bearings will cause such a condition in that car. Rebuild the
rear with new bearings (not for the faint of heart) or purchase a used (but
guaranteed) rear center assembly.

Rear bearings vs. rear differential
Hi, I am back!
Have had noisy sounds coming from back of my 190E.
Has done 160K mi, so I tend to turn up the radio as noises tend to go away,
then.:O)
Seriously, I diagnosed rear wheel bearings beeing bad. When the car is off
the ground with wheels attached and I have them turn with engine running in
idle and 5th gear...you cant even hear your own words.
When I block one wheel. other spins twice as fast....sounds multiply.
both wheels make some amount off sounds...
Ok...so I took everything apart...took off CV axle and discovered...bearings
are fine...can be turned easly by hand...not any difference to the new one,
which I unfortunately allready have
ok...what now...differential bad? when turning any differential output by
hand...this is where the sound comes from...its like a roar...which
penatrates throughout the entire car. funy thing is, when I drive my winter
tires...its even worse...and its not just the tires...
what can that be now? bearings of differential? did I shred some gears?
should I check trans fluid? havent done that in a while...
thanks for hint and or do's and dont's

Re: Rear bearings vs. rear differential
jepp, checked oil level
is up to bottom off the opening
smells a bit burned...but so would I after 13 years of complete darkness :O)
is still greasy...and yelloisch color
o well... I'll change the wheel bearings anyways..
about to take out differential...but cant seem to get the top cylinderheaded
bolt out...cant reach the nut holding it...it there any harm done, when I
just remove the entire drive-rack-mount ? would be good time to do those r4
ubber pads anyhow
thanks
alex
ps any hints on pressing out the wheel bearings? way in seems easy...buuut
out...
this guy has done it...http://www.ralfstaudenmaier.de/benz/radlag/index.htm
buut...not really showing how he got the center hub out in the first place..
since i figured this has to got first, cause the bearing is still holding in
place with the outer segerring attached
