A bit strange about the bearing, couldn't hear any noises even off boost. I only found the bearing issue as I'm fitting E-Class brakes, so I reckon I got lucky in not destroying the stub axle. Happy Xmas.

	Thanks everyone. I guessed it would be but it's good to get second opinions. Happy Xmas one and all.

	Guys, I need a second (or several) opinion/s on this stub after receiving some scoring from a bad wheel bearing. Normally I'd just get a used stub and fit new bearings but this being Xmas I don't want to have to wait for a replacement to be delivered. I have new bearings so was hoping to get a way with just fitting those? Thanks in advance.

	I found using the cheapo stuff on the likes of eBay was great bang for buck. The secret was to let the cleaner do the work, the longer the cleaner was left on the wheels the better. Also 5 Liters goes a long way and will clean many sets of alloys. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5L-Alloy-Wheel-Cleaner-PRO-Strong-Strength-Without-Acid-as-Used-by-Valeters/383690073557?hash=item5955b5e5d5:g:EC8AAOSwePReLxvl

	Front lower wishbones/LCA bushes do fail and it's not easy to see or tell if they are starting to break up. Same goes for the ball joint too. The only way is to remove both bolts and have a look. If the bushes or arms have not been replaced in your ownership I'd bet they need to be replaced now. New arms/bushes can transform the suspension.

	The Sunny is a good shout. I'd have it as a first 'project' car over a 205.

	One of the nicest wheel designs to grace any 80's Merc imo. These exact wheels were standard fitment on the 190E 2.5-16 EVO (1). GLWS, should have little bother selling them.

	The method you're using is fine for changing the PAS fluid. What I do is suck the reservoir, refill and start the engine and turn the st.wheel from lock to lock about four times and syphon the reservoir again. Do the same again in 12 months and that should be it for a few years. I suspect the correct method is to drain from the return line (low pressure) but being candid I'm adverse to disconnecting old hydraulic hoses/pipes.
