- In todays video we replace a defective front wheel bearing on my E Class Mercedes. A very easy job (4 bolts) one the caliper and brake disc is removed. Caliper Bolts = 120Nm, bearing bolts = 80Nm + 45 degrees.
Parts Used: Schaeffler Bearing Set 713668230
If you suspect the mechanic of over tightening the wheel bearings past the mentioned torque, what are the symptoms, scraping or squealing noises?
@@paulodee4098 i had the usually rumble in straight line that went away when turning. I then jacked up the car and there was a clacking sound when spinning the wheel. It should be silent or at worst a bit of brake binding noise only 👍
Hey! Great video, i got a Mercedes-Benz C 220 T CDI from 2012, that i assume i will need to change bearings on.
But i have a question regarding the spinning on your wheel at the end of the video, it seems that your wheel isnt spinning as freely as im used to, (regarding other brands that is).
The thing is, today i changed to my summertires and i noticed that when i spun the plates (after removing the wheel/tire), the plats spun very slow and had quite the resistence, so when i got the summerwheels on i tried again and i noticed that even with the wheels on, the tire spun, but with some restistence. Is this normal? Since my last car, a BWM, those front wheels spun like crazy just by hand when the car was lifted.
I have rearwheeldrive and this is the front wheels that spin with restistence. (Also no heat or other issues when driving.)
Can be brake dependent. They do certainly sing freely so maybe it was just how it came across in the video?
Unrelated question - did your car come with the mud flaps or did you install them yourself mate? I asked a Merc dealership but apparently there aren't any listed for AMG Line models...
They were from on EBay from China. Cost about £40 5yrs ago. Super quality and not degraded at all over time or 75k miles. Just search w213 mudflaps and the sport/AMG Line cars
Not sure if i missed it but what were your symptoms? My wifes 2017 GLC 300 has some vibration when we break. Local tire shop had mentioned the bearings were known to go out on these cars. Thanks.
It was the usual grumbling sound when driving which stopped when turning round a right hand bend. I then jacked the wheel of the ground and spun it ans there was a a slight clicking sound - it should be silent. In my case the left had gone and the right one (in the video) was just going so not so bad but was changed as more preventative maintenance.
I have the same vibration on my c220d, not sure what it is either
thank you! nice info!
My pleasure. Good luck when you do the job.
Is there a video for the rear bearings? I feel like the humming is coming from the back on the car?
Sorry not yet but i suspect very similar to the front but will need to remove the driveshaft first.

How have the FAG wheel bearings been for you? As I have same car and they are £100, genuine Mercedes are £200 each.
So far so good after 30,000km 👍👍. They are an OE supplier for VAG and BMW so they are a quality replacement. I actually think the seal design on the back looks more robust than the Merc ones.
Thank you for replying and the video!
Great stuff i’ll get them ordered 👍🏽.
Reason for change is front brake discs keep warping and been advised wheel bearings are the issue even tho no noise! (For someone who has same experience) 🙂
@@AmarKhan01 do check the bearings first. Jack up the wheel and spin it. Any clicking or grinding (less disc rubbing on pads) then it’s likely the bearing’s
What brand do you recommend for bearing? Dealer wants £200.
I fitted a FAG bearing made by Schaeffler (Hey, check out FAG Wheel Bearing Kit in the AUTODOC app m.autodoc.de/fag/16438830). Is an OE supplier and good reputation. Mine was not as expensive as the current quoted price (think it was about €80) but there is usually an offer on somewhere 👍
I have problem with discs,second pair warped,and can’t find a problem.I may need to check this out
I have replaced with “ABS” brand from AutoDoc (in Germany). So far so good after about 5000km. Will never buy Brembo again. Original MB ones did 100k km but we’re starting to judder and were below min thickness. The discs caused the bearing to fail due to the vibration under braking, otherwise they were ok.
@@mercedes_and_more thanks for the answer. in your opinion, what can cause the brakes to warp? the discs were changed 5 months ago and about 2000 miles have been driven and it’s same problem again.
@@mariuskucinas9729 i have heard all sorts of things. People on forums say it’s the auto hold handbrake causing the pads to stick in one area of the discs are warm (not about this as i am normally gentle on my brakes). Spoke to my brother in law (Kfz Meister here in Germany) - he said to tighten up the wheel nuts gentle. So 30,60,90,120,150 nm in stages using the usual star technique. Apparently this is what MB is telling people their technicians. He specialises in MB so I believe him. Also make sure that the wheel flange is immaculately clean and free of grease and also the back of the wheel. Might be worth checking your wheel alignment as mine was off (pot hole in the U.K.). Apart from that I’m out of ideas but there is much talk on the forums. That said my first set of MB discs were fine and my wife’s car (60k km from new) is ok and she always uses the auto hold. 🤔
@@mercedes_and_more I think it’s long way to find a problem,but I’ll have a look all those things.thanks for advice
@@mariuskucinas9729 in pri order: 1. Wheel alignment. 2. Undo wheel nuts abs make sure they are not over tight (150nm) - do not use an air gun to tighten!
Does this kit come with an integrated abs sensor as other makes mention the sensor but this kit does not?
So the bearing comes with whatever magnetit ring it uses for the ABS built in, but the actual ABS sensor doesn’t. This has to be removed from the hub before removing the bearing as shown in the video. Hope this helps/clarifies? 👍
@@mercedes_and_more I did think this would be the case just wanted to be sure can I ask what your symptoms were I’ve got a random high pitched squeak on slight left hand turns and a fair bit of steering wheel wobble at speed and breaking
@@Redjohnification wheel wobble was the warped brakes. After fitting i was spinning the wheel to check for binding and heard a clicking sound (should be silent). Check with my Brother in Law (car mechanic) and he said bearing was gone. The one in the video was going but in resistance when turning rather than noise. Was better than the other but i thought a bit of preventative maintainance would be 👍
@@mercedes_and_more looks like I best strip mine down before I decide a plan off action scary thing is bearings are cheaper than new disks I appreciate all the help great Channel by the way gained a new follower today👍
@@Redjohnification thanks and glad you are finding the content useful
is this only for RWD?
@@whereskill yes but the principle is the same for 4matic but you need to push the drive shafts out from the hub to show release of the breathing so will need to split the hub from the ball joints first
@@mercedes_and_moresounds good, thanks for your response. Making it easier for us mercedes owners 🙏
What year is your car?
It is a 2019 model year (last year of the non facelift cars) 👍
@@mercedes_and_more thanks! Is there any special tools I need or will a regular socket set suffice?
@@KeithJenkinsJr don’t know if this counts as special tools, but you do need E Drive sockets for the bolts. Think they were E12 or E14, but I’m sure i say so in the video? E sockets are essentially like T drive sockets but external (hence the name) fitment and not integral like T bits 👍
@@mercedes_and_moreyes! That’s what I was looking for, thank you sir!
