Axle Spacers
I need two 1.1mm axle spacers and new lock rings for my 300SD.
I called the local dealer and he says the axle spacers are called thrust washers and don't come in the size I need. He also said the lock rings come in different thicknesses. He says come on down and look at the picture, I think it is a waste of time but I don't have any choice I need the spacers to put my wife's car back together. Can anyone help me out with a part number or something?

Have you spoken to Roy or Phil? Probably John (vstech) would know as well given his interest in such things.

Depending on the type computer you have, you might be able to get free access to the MB EPC.

Well I just got back from the dealer. A big waste of time!
He only shows the thrust washers for the side gears. I even showed him a print out of the FSM page showing the axle spacers. He said the only one they can get are the side gear thrust washers and they only come in 1.25mm thickness. Obviously not the right part. I have been in contact with John, (Vstech) but he is really busy and hasn't been able to help me yet. I asked Phil but he couldn't help either. Anyone else have any spacers?

I think in the DIY section someone has the Spacer Thicknesses and the part numbers for them posted in one of the threads.
If you cannot get the exact size you need one of our members bought some thicker than he needed and had them surface Ground at a Machine Shop. They throw them on top of a Magnetic Cuck Plate and that holds them down and simply grind off the top.

Just a quick update...
Received the spacers yesterday and installed the axles today. The spacers were great, thank you again DeliveryValve!!! I guess I'm getting too old and fat to be rolling around under them damn cars. It took me most of the day to reinstall the axles and get everything buttoned up again. Of course I did R and R the drive shaft for inspection too but it still kicked my butt. I replaced the lower oil cooler hose Monday as well so it's been quite a week so far. Thanks again for the help.
