My 240 has been shuttering real bad at the rear end as of late. She purrs down the road, hardly making a sound, but under braking she goes nuts.
So I have her up right now, both wheels off. The left rotor is warped a tiny bit, as is evident by a slight difference in color of the brake surface, which corresponds with a slight drag spot. The right side rotor moves smoothly through the caliper.
Calipers off and rotors off and the left hub spins smoothly. The right hub seems almost indexed (you can feel each bearing). Although this might also be the diff. I say it might be the diff as the left side turning causes the driveshaft to respond a fair amount, whereas turning the right hub only barely gets a response from the driveshaft.
So looking through Chilton and Haynes I have NOTHING on replacing the rear bearing sets. My bently manual is at work and I don't feel like driving over there today.
So thoughts on the next step in diagnosis?
