hi.
we have an a class, a170 diesel, approx 3 yrs old.
we have had both rear radius arms replaced under warranty by our dealer.
upon discussing the principle of operation, it appears that the bearings run out of grease, and fail, primarily because a lubrication point is not there.
this seems very similar to a problem austin had with mini's in the 60's. eventually, they added a lubrication point. just wondered if any other a class owners have had problems with these, or has anyone fitted a lubrication point?
