Hi everyone,

I am trying to find information on installing a wavetrac. I see many members here have one but I cannot locate any details on the install. Even searching online for R170 or SLK320 doesn't yield specifics. I have read through the service manual but it doesn't talk about backlash or shims. Any insight?

Thanks!

Thanks, I will call them but the specs for backlash would be from MB for the pinion to ring. I can't believe no one on the forum has installed this outside of a shop. I can measure my existing backlash but the rear is already noisy as is I don't think this is a good baseline.

I found a spec for an E55 calling for 0.10mm-0.16mm but don't know how that compares to the R170.

 

unitrax installed mine for 225$. with lifetime warranty and my busy schedule it was a no brainer for me

 

Sounds painful.

 

Well, that probably depends on which way you swing ...

 

Yes . . . I need to substitute the word "differential" for "rear end" . . . earlier post edited . . .
