Replace rear differential ? What fit in ?
Hi guys, i just bought e320 2003 and im sure the rear differential have been changed. I've got studs on it and the wheels nuts are bigger 19' in the back and 17' in the front. I never saw before a Mercedes with studs hub.
What do you think the differential is ? Which differential can be fit on those car ?

There are stud kits available to fit the factory hubs, it doesn't necessarily mean the diff or axles have been changed. The hub is separate from the axles, anyways. Some people who frequently remove their wheels (for racing purposes or swapping between summer and winter sets) install studs for ease of installation, particularly if they have multiple sets of wheels that would require different length lug bolts. Studs and an open nut allow them to only need one set of fasteners.

I have a E550 4Matic do I need to change my differential oil and if I do what's the interval?
I saw in the owners man only AMG's require changing diff oil every 2 yrs
