My first choice would be lemfoerder for the flex discs
As for the wheel bearings I'd go with FAG or SKF. I have looked into ways of getting these parts by just getting the bearings and then buying the seals etc separately from the dealer but this so far hasn't worked out cheaper. So get the best price you can for a good quality manufacturer who supplies a kit. However in either case - if the old ones are still in good condition I would not replace them just because they are old. These days new is not necessarily better.

Thanks for the suggestion on the wheel bearings,I will repack when I do axel work I am waiting for refund on the axels I returned then I will get Vstech to make me up some replacements. Separate project
The bearing in ? Is the one that is on the shaft I believe there is 2 and I found part with MB $30 each and $11.00 each off brand. So wondered which one has had best result. OK we have 1 for the lemfoerder greazer2b Last edited by greazer2b; 09-25-2014 at 02:15 PM.

As for the wheel bearings I'd go with FAG or SKF. Both of those companies also have a cheap line of bearings that are Made in China. If you buy from any even well know Bearing Company if you care what Country the Bearings are made in you need to ask if it is not in the Ad.
What I have been doing with bearings is if I cannot loacate them using the Mercedes Part Number I wait until the Bearings are out and I can see the part Number that is on the Bearing and the Bearing Race. I use that Number and go on eBay and make sure I get Bearings made from the USA, German or Japan. Korea is also OK for the Front Wheel Bearings. You can do the same with Seals if you can read the Number on them or use the Mercedes part number to find them. Also eBay Sellers will often answer your questions by the next day. I often ask they were stuff is made. As an example AC Delco makes Upper Control Arms for My Year and Model and they are made in Italy.
