Fixed a few things, now a few new things have made themselves present.
So I replaced a few sensors(map, maf) and a trans mount, a carrier bearing and housing, as well as put some bump in the trunk. still a few problems are concerning me.
First off, after i put said new sensors into the vehicle, I've been driving it on and off for about the past week or so. And until recently(not considering the other problems I mentioned) the check engine light came on for an 02 sensor. Completely came out of nowhere. I had actually managed to keep the cel light off for quite some time and was happy about it. I really dont have the slightest clue as to where it came from or how it could have happened. Any idea? For the record, when I was redoing the carrier bearing. Upon dropping the exhaust, I did notice the connections had been coated in oil. Assuming that is a rear main seal?
The SECOND issue, is, replacement of the trans mount. car rides WAY better than before. Almost like a night and day difference. But there is still a vibration present. Could it be the motor mounts possibly?
and last but not least, I recently read that getting the front wheel bearings is a free repair offered at any MB dealership, is this correct? If not, what is too tight, and what is too loose?

Can't help with the first portion of questions but the bearing procedures I use are to tighten to seat the bearing then back off a quarter turn and pin. Never had issues doing it this way.
