After trying a number of garages to change a rear wheel bearing on my W201 (I knew it was a bad job - hence not attemping it myself)
Got the car back £200 lighter in the wallet, and notice that it had developed a brake judder, like when I had rusty rear discs a few years ago (they were replaced in 2006) Took off the OFR wheel and dsicovered the upper control arm at the 2 o'clock position was hanging off!!!! The "bolt" was almost out but the nut was missing - also the old driveshaft nut had been reused and not peened!! To say I was not amused was an understatement - took it back and the arm has been bolted back, although the old DS nut is still there.
Any way replaced the disc (in my other thread) but no sign of less judder. It definitely feels like discs but is there anything else at the rear suspension that would give a similar feel?
I only used the garage as they are very handy and are a registered MOT test station.
Needless to say they won't be seeing any of my cars again!!
