This RIDEX 654W0854 front wheel bearing kit is designed for owners of compatible MERCEDES-BENZ C-Klasse (W204, S204, C204), E-Klasse (C207, A207), and SLK (R172) models. It offers a key benefit of restoring smooth wheel rotation and ensuring driving safety by replacing a worn wheel hub bearing. A potential caveat is the need for specific tools and mechanical knowledge for installation. The kit includes an integrated wheel hub bearing with a tapered roller bearing type, crucial for supporting radial and axial loads.

An integrated wheel hub bearing combines the bearing and the wheel hub into a single unit, which can simplify installation and improve structural integrity compared to separate components.
Common signs include humming, growling, or clicking noises that change with vehicle speed or turning, excessive play or looseness in the wheel, and vibrations felt through the steering wheel or floor.
While possible for experienced DIY mechanics with the right tools, wheel bearing replacement is a safety-critical job. Professional installation is recommended to ensure it's done correctly and safely.
This type of bearing uses conical rollers that run on a conical raceway. It is designed to efficiently handle both radial and axial (thrust) loads, making it suitable for demanding applications like wheel hubs.
The RIDEX 654W0854 wheel bearing kit weighs 2.40 kg.
The kit has an outer diameter of 150.0 mm, an inner diameter of 22.0 mm, and a bolt hole circle of 112 mm.
It is compatible with MERCEDES-BENZ C-Klasse (W204, S204, C204), E-Klasse (C207, A207), and SLK (R172) models.
Ensure the new bearing was correctly seated and all mounting bolts are torqued to specification. Double-check that the correct part number was used and that no other suspension or brake components are faulty.
Verify that the hub nut (if applicable) is tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque. Check that all bolts securing the bearing assembly to the knuckle are securely fastened.
Use appropriate puller tools designed for wheel bearings. Applying a penetrating lubricant and gentle heat (if safe and applicable) can help loosen a seized bearing. If the bearing is severely damaged, professional assistance may be required.
Compatibility: This kit is exclusively designed for the front axle of MERCEDES-BENZ C-Klasse (W204, S204, C204), E-Klasse (C207, A207), and SLK (R172) models. Please verify your vehicle's specific model and VIN against the listed compatible engine codes (M271861, M276957, OM646811, M272982, M271, M272984) and OEM part numbers (2043300425, 2043300625, A2043300425, A2043300625) before purchase.
Setup: Installation requires dismounting the wheel, brake assembly, and potentially other suspension components. The old bearing must be carefully removed from the hub, and the new bearing pressed into place. Proper torque specifications for all bolts and nuts must be followed as per the vehicle manufacturer's service manual. Due to the critical nature of wheel bearings for safety, professional installation by a qualified mechanic is strongly recommended.
Care: Wheel bearings are typically sealed and require no routine maintenance. However, they should be inspected periodically for signs of wear, damage, or contamination. Avoid high-pressure washing directly at the wheel hub area, as this can potentially force contaminants past the seals. If unusual noises or vibrations occur, the bearing should be inspected immediately.
