Wavetrac Diff
My 507 does not have the factory fitted LSD. I asked my MB dealer if they can fit the stock LSD, but they said they cannot fit it. I live in South Africa, so my dealer may be a moron.
Initially I thought I wouldn't bother, but then the other day I tried to drift around a circle, and it just sucks without the LSD.
So I want to get the Wavetrac. I have a friend who imports parts from the US, who will be bringing it in for me.
What else will I need to get from my local MB dealer.
I know I should fit new seals.
Should I change the bearings?
If so, what is the part number.

I have my wavetrac going in next week. I purchased new seals and flanges on recommendation of a thread i found in search. I could not figure out from past threads if new bearings were required as well so I have left the parts with my shop for them to decide if the additional parts are needed or not. Also keep in mind some members have found their diff housings needed to be grinded down slightly (just a couple mm) to fit the diff into the housing. Seems like not all housings need to be ground though, we will see whether mine requires it.
these were the part numbers i ordered:
2309970346 SEAL RING (order two of these)
003989982010 SEALENT

add the finned heatsink with its diff cover while you are at it (unless you already have that stock)!

Do you know the part number for the bearings.
Should I just stick with the OEM diff fluid, or do you guys recommend something else for the Wavetrac.

I have ordered the Wavetrac. My friend is bringing it in for me.
Anyone know the part number for the bearings, and is there a MB part number for the diff fluid.

Here are the bearing part numbers you need.
Bearing - 230 350 03 49
Bearing - 230 350 02 49
You must use what they recommend for fluid which is 75w140. I use motul in mine.

The owners manual specifies Titan EG 5010 D which is Titan Sintopoid FE SAE 75W-85.
AFAIK, the 75W140 (Castrol LSD something or other) that's only used with the OEM clutch type LSD has friction modifiers which you do NOT want to use with the Wavetrac.
Wavetrac recommends either Motul Gear 300 (75w90) or Motul Gear Competition (75w140)
Edit: I don't track my car so I stuck with Motul Gear 300.

The Wavetrac is a gear type, which does not use friction modifiers.
I wonder if the stock LSD fluid from MB has the friction modifier added, or if it's a separate item.

From what I can find
MB Part #: A 001 989 52 03 10
Which is Castrol Syntrax Limited Slip 75W 140 Fully Synthetic Car Gearbox Oil - Formerly SAF-XJ
DataSheet
Looks like it's ok to use. Maybe the dealer does add a friction modifier separate or none at all?

Expect to pay roughly 8 hours labour to r & r the diff housing & remove & install lsd. I got my kit from acg which comes with everything needed, new bearings, axle seals and fluid.
