Looking for an OE Mercedes flange or pair of flanges. These flanges are for mounting the two-piece CV axles. The stub ends mount to the differential. The photo shows both types of axles for reference. The two-piece axle shown has its flange still attached. Since they are two separate pieces the flanges are often left behind in the differential. Aftermarket versions only work with aftermarket axles. I can only use OE flanges as pictured. They are larger in diameter than the axle where they attach.

I've heard the aftermarket cv axles as of the past 10 years perform and last longer than the rebuilds or OE. just my 2 cents

I've had OE axles sitting so if there's a next time I'll try aftermarket.

haha yup hopefully there is no next time

Wow I bought rebuilt Cardone Axles (homokinetic) back int 2007 and the only issues have been with the Boots which started cracking after 5 years. I rebooted them with Dorman Boots. But, have had no other issues with them.
Cardone used CV joint grease and there was a lot of it in there. I continued that practice and added a little more grease when I rebooted.

Update: Got one flange. Need one more or even a pair if seller prefers it. I've heard OE annular axles, Mercedes' final design in 1985, last the longest by far.

P.S. There are no new OE homokinetic axles, not for years. The test of an axle is miles. Age can test the boots though.

Flange alert. Still up for one or a pair.

I have one. Send me a PM

Diesel911 can you share a link to "Dorman boots" ? PM me in case peachparts does not like links to other vendors or don't post a hyper link.
I am assuming that you are referring to split side rubber boots that can be retrofitted on good axles shafts.
Similar to the Italian product I have seen on boob tube..

Thanks

Still looking. See photos in first post to identify OE version.

1983 300CD:

It may help if you specify the bolt circle diameter that you desire:
94mm or 102mm. Both were used by MB in production.

Yes the 94mm.
