Friends,
We have found a lot of noises in front diffs due to worn needle bearings in the right front axle support of the differential housing. We have found a replacement bearing from a local vendor. The question is: has anyone successfully replaced this bearing? I attached photos of the components.

Just like the W163, MB never offered any of those parts only the seals & drive flanges.

Doubt that anyone has done that.
