Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / April 20051998 C230 Rear End
I may decide to start looking for a good used rear end as the pinion noise is starting to bother me even when I turn up the radio. Any ideas how I could find one? I could look at the wrecking yards in the area I suppose. I may try Swepco Moly Lube as a last resort before I start any work on the car. It appears that changing out the rear end may not be too tough a job. Your thoughts are appreciated. I can't afford the big bucks at the dealers shop.

You may find that the shimming the pinion gear is all that is needed... Try to find a good independent mechanic.... Marty Martin: Thanks for the tip. I believe the gear is scuffed from low lube level before we bought the car used. Do you think shimming could still solve the problem? Thanks again..

Good luck, and let us know what you discover... Marty Martin: I'll keep you posted. it does seem that by shimming the pinion gear a new contact surface is achieved hence less noise.It is certainly worth a try..Thanks.
