Front Bearings, w210
So, I'm commuting in & out of town all week. When I get home, my wife mentions that the car is making a funny noise. I take it for a spin, don't notice anything in particular. Then I stop to get the mail, and as I pull a u-turn it makes a funny "clunk" and then a horrible metal on metal sound. I limp home, about 2 blocks.
Question about front bearings: Is 1/2" play considered excessive?  Anyway, as per the attached image, the front bearing has completely disintegrated. Lucky it happened so close to home. Will the standard bearing kit be enough? http://catalog.peachparts.com/ShopByVehicle.epc?q=&yearid=1999@@1999&makeid=63@@MERCEDES%2DBENZ@@63&modelid=6385%3AMBC%7C1572%3AED%7C814%3AFT%7C6@@E300&catid=241387@@Driveshaft+%26+Axle&subcatid=241457@@Wheel+Bearing+Kit&applicationid=W0133-1625607&mode=PA

Well the cap was off and loose in the wheel, so that greasy stain is new... I swear!
I will have a closer look on wednesday, but I'll be really shocked if the spindle is pooched. It literally only drove 2 blocks like that, at ~10mph. Behind that split retaining nut, is there a flat washer that sits against the outer bearing? Anyone have a parts diagram? Thanks!

This is all the EPC has....not much. http://www.detali.ru/cat/oem_mb2.asp?TP=1&F=210025&M=606%2E962&GA=722%2E608&CT=F&cat=45P&SID=33&SGR=030&SGN=01
i don't rememeber any washer when I repacked and tightened mine up, but it was a while ago. Free play "ought" to be set with a dial indicator gauge who's spec I don't know; I'm sure I did mine wrong applying old school tech (tightening until rotor would not spin freely and then whacking the end of the spindle wiht a hammer) but they appear to have lasted longer than yours..... I have virtually no slop when jerking the tire now FWIW.
