Hi, I am back!
Have had noisy sounds coming from back of my 190E. Has done 160K mi, so I tend to turn up the radio as noises tend to go away, then.:O)
Seriously, I diagnosed rear wheel bearings beeing bad. When the car is off the ground with wheels attached and I have them turn with engine running in idle and 5th gear...you cant even hear your own words. When I block one wheel. other spins twice as fast....sounds multiply. both wheels make some amount off sounds... Ok...so I took everything apart...took off CV axle and discovered...bearings are fine...can be turned easly by hand...not any difference to the new one, which I unfortunately allready have :(
ok...what now...differential bad? when turning any differential output by hand...this is where the sound comes from...its like a roar...which penatrates throughout the entire car. funy thing is, when I drive my winter tires...its even worse...and its not just the tires...
what can that be now? bearings of differential? did I shred some gears? should I check trans fluid? havent done that in a while...
thanks for hint and or do's and dont's
