I am building the correct differential spreader to unload and re-load the carrier bearings.
I went to my DC dealer to look for parts for the job:
-axle seals
-carrier side bearings
-carrier side bearing retaining rings, in an assortment of thcknesses.
-ring gear bolts
He punched in my VIN into the parts computer and said that DC does not sell nor service the SRT8 rear end. It is flagged as "component replacement only."
Does anyone have the part numbers or a source to purchase these parts?
Help!

The diff is a Mercedes piece. You can probably get the parts from them if you can identify a compatible application. I believe it was used in the previous gen E Class. Sorry I dont know more, but a number of people on this forum have had them installed.
