Hi everyone,
Question for my S-Class V222 S350d with the 9g-tronic
My flex discs are getting quite worn (122k miles, originals). I noticed it because when i'm driving over 70 miles an hour, the car vibrates a bit, but too much for an S Class.
Engine and transmission mounts were recently changed.
Considering the fact that there's a lot of labour involved to change them, I decided that I might as well change the center support bearing.
There's an information I cannot find though, about the ball bearing in the center support bearing.
My car doesn't seem to have one as it's grayed out on EPC (only available for the 7G-tronic)
Ball bearing reference : A0089815125
Center support bearing reference : A2224100981 (already got from MB for 104€, doesn't have a ball bearing inside, only rubber/boot) and that's the same part number as the one in the 7G.
Mercedes checked on their EPC and it's still grayed out. Would that mean that I don't have a ball bearing ?
What do you think about it?
That's a big deal for me because I have an independent mechanic and he doesn't have the tools to remove a ball bearing.
I see the same thing in the EPC, very odd as most all of the other parts in that section are not greyed out.
Even more odd, if I just checked your chassis number (222.132) and I see a specific note for many of these propeller shaft parts excluding them from cars with the V6 Diesel and 7SPD transmission! This may be a case where the parts catalog is not correct or not complete.
I would recommend having a look with an inspection camera first and if you confirm there is the center support bearing just order the part and have it ready. A0089815125 - Center support ball bearing.
Good catch on the EPC glitch seems like the catalog might be incomplete. Smart move checking with an inspection cam first. If the bearing’s there, just grab A0089815125 and have it ready. Fingers crossed it’s an easy fix
