Limited Slip on a W210

Just curious: Was there a posi/limited slip/anti spin differential available for the 96-99 W210 Diesels?

your car has traction control,lsd is available aftermarket for e55 made by quaife,your car will not need a lsd,it is for high powered cars and driving sideways.

LSD is also very, very helpful when driving on snow.

E300 is 3.46: 1

E55 is 2.82:1

Maybe you could adapt the ring and pinion from this to work?

LSD

Yep, not worried about a "high powered" situation. Just want both tires engaging in snow(or other engaging when when other loses traction). Instead of bouncing the brakes to try to switch them. My 96 is the basest(sp?) of models, without any extras.
Yep, read the manual. Just looking for outside options, yet another project in my non-existent spare time

Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG W210
E55 Differential possibility

Hello guys,

I am Metin I live in The Netherlands and a owner of a MB E55 1998 W210.
My differential makes noise and I have to change it. But my question is, is it possible to put a differential from buildingsyear 1999? My differential is 1:2,82 and 1999 also 1:2,82 but they have another part number. Can anyone help me?
