Differential bearings
Hey guys,
I'm about to install a Wavetrac LSD on my car but I can't seem to find the part number for the diff bearings. Can anyone tell me where I can order these?

Post your VIN and I'll give you part numbers.

The parts above are for model 211 vehicles. When I plug in the VIN, there are no bearings referenced as part of the differential housing or axles. So I'm assuming the housing is sold with bearings installed.

Yes they are different for each side.
Correct. Mercedes sells the differential as a complete unit, only thing available separately are the axle seals.

Inner races are included with the bearings, I have the bearings with exact same part numbers on my tool box waiting to get installed.

Yes above part numbers for the bearings are correct. Note that they are different part numbers, left and right side. You might also need to grind some of the diff housing to get the wavetrac in.

Finding right diff bearing for C63
I have a 2013 C63 Amg facelift. I also purchased a Wavetrac diff. Are the bearings part numbers you mentioned the same for my car? Is your car a facelift model as well? I am having a hard time finding the bearings because Mercedes doesn't sell them by themselves as you mentioned. Did they work well and are you happy with Wavetrac? Any weird noise while driving? Thanks.

The part numbers Valve referenced will work on your car, I too have a FL (MY 2012), and they are perfect. The MB part contains the tapered roller bearings made by Timken in France/Poland, and the bearing cup. It is tough to find the bearings by themselves, and unfortunately, I dont have the Timken part numbers. These bearings and cups are different sizes depending on which side of the differential you are installing it on, as aforementioned.

Thanks for the reply. So I need to find a Timken bearing distributor in Europe and give these 2 part numbers as a reference? Bearing - 230 350 03 49 and 230 350 02 49? How did you get yours? My car is sitting at the shop just waiting to for it :-(.

Hey guys I will be installing a Wavetrac as well this weekend. I have the Timken bearings, MB axle seals, gear oil, a new finned cover and heat sink. Am I missing anything to complete the job ? Any special tooling that helps or tips/ tricks ?
Thanks

Thanks. To get to first axle out of the diff - does the axle nut have to be removed on the knuckle/hub end ? or can the suspension be unbolted and the hub assembly moved enough for the axle to slide it out of the diff ?
