prop

I've got a 2011 Viano 85000 miles and its making a droning noise at low speeds, seems to be when its warmed up, then when I'm turning right or reversing. I thought it was coming from the rear, suspension or electronic suspension adjustment. But now I think it could be more to the middle. Would...

Can anybody tell me if there is a grease nipple on the W202 prop shaft to lubricate the UJ's. My car is making a Chirping/Squeaking/Clicking noise from the rear of the car that speeds up as the car accelerates and disappears as it moves into second gear. There is no vibration or rumbling at any...

I need a drive shaft centre support bearing for my ML270. I did a search on ebay and two UK suppliers offered this bearing at a decent price, both being German manufactured, or supposedly. On further investigation one was made in china, the second was of inferior quality, so both these are out...

Hi guys. It's ok, I'm not going to start whining, I love my Benz too much. I just have this little problem. When I pull away in my W202 C180 Esprit, I get a little squeaking noise that sounds like it would be in time with the rotation of the UJ's on the prop/drive shaft. It happens when the car...

Having only just bought my 2005 CLK 320 Auto I thought I would phone round the companies that have serviced the car before to check what had been done, or not, and see if there had been any advisories or other observations of note. It's just had the oil change for the automatic transmission...

Definately need a new prop shaft on my C250 TD Auto Estate... I'm tempted to just get a decent used one... anyone got any tips? I don't have a huge budget tbh (I know... shouldn't have an MB if you can't afford to run it, but there we go), and I suspect a new one would cost the earth and a...

I'm trying to drop the prop shaft on my W123 diesel to change the centre bearing but am having a little trouble (never done one before). I've undone and removed the 6 bolts on the front flex disc and the same on the rear one, then removed the handbrake cabling that gets in the way, then the 2...
