Does the RH axle have a circlip on the end for the slide joint??
Yes it has disc brakes. Interesting that the roller and ball bearing combo is original, I would not have guessed this. Is it specific for this axle version? I do not notice it mentionend in my W111 book?

Here are pictures of the axle shafts:

Axle1

Axle2

Axle3

At picture "Axle3" you can see that the axle has not been riding on the full lenght of the spline.

Thanks, Karsten
