Re: [diesel_mercedes] Axles? 300D

 

Bill,

Not sure, nothing like that, it's a pretty small bolt, just keeps the axle spline in place, so I just gave it a crank with my 3/8 breaker bar. I didn't even have to take the wheel off, just the cap.

OK, I searched and found axle shaft retaining bolt: 30 Nm (22.3 ft lbs) I guess I'll check again.

My Ford E350 Van has a bunch of axle & spring bolts, and lug nuts all at 144ftlbs, which is fun to check, and re-torque.

What is the torque on that axle nut? I know it is about 250 ft-lbs on a 1965 VW Bug. Bill in Oregon

It does have the donut, yet it looked fine when I pushed the driveshaft up/down back/forth, and was fine last year when I put in a new tranny.

I heard a little less of the noise when I tightened the outer bolt on the axle, which was slightly loose..

Looks like, not an emergency, yet a 'to do' sometime soon, and don't drive too far.

Thanks

Does anyone have any axle recommendations?

I had one of mine replaced at a shop over a year ago (drivers side), and
it seems messed up, I think out of warranty, maybe not. The previous
replacement on the (pass side) is 5yrs old and fine.

I heard some strange sound from the drive train, so didn't drive it for
most of the week, and raised it up, checked bolts, flex disks, and other
parts, along with fluids. The only thing that stood out was this axle.
Engine sounds great, just a light groaning/ vibration from underneath
while driving, first at startup, and later throughout my drive to work.

I'd like to just get a good one, or pair.

Even if the axle isn't causing the noise, it's not right.

Thanks

Rob
