whats your number, I can get you used one with warranty on as well.
hey do you have a cla 250 rear diff still available ?whats your number, I can get you used one with warranty on as well.
I have the same exact problem. Thought it was the shocks for 6 months. I am guessing warranty is out for the 2014 cla 4 matic diff? Should I take it to the dealer or anyone know other places that can fix that without the dealership price? I don’t know how f I can get the solenoid and try first? The thumping and banging noises are getting more noticeable. Would appreciate any inputCar is fixed. Attached is the screen shot for part numbers and comment.
At least I won’t have to deal with diff oil change.

The solenoid is pretty easy to get to, but you do have to put it on a lift or jack stands. On the front left of the diff is a small plug in. Unplug it and the noise should go away.I have the same exact problem. Thought it was the shocks for 6 months. I am guessing warranty is out for the 2014 cla 4 matic diff?

Thanks much! What a bummer- problem started 4 years ago and even busted a rear tire. Would have been under warranty if caught but was told shocks wearing out was probably doing that. Saw a service memo from Mercedes on this in Australia but not here. Mercedes should own up or somebody should file a law suit.The solenoid is pretty easy to get to, but you do have to put it on a lift or jack stands. On the front left of the diff is a small plug in.

I haven’t heard anyone say what the consequences are of continuing to drive it with it knocking though. Mine was still working, just made the noise for several years.
Yes the warranty would be out unless you had an extended drivetrain warranty.
You can purchase the differential (reman) for around $2500 usd online and install yourself or have a local mechanic install.

Hi,Y’all keep talking about getting a good used rear axle, but that’s total oxymoron!
Mine started making noise at about 50k miles. With that said they’re all actually bad, so finding a “good used one” is out of the question. You can buy rebuilt ones so that means parts to rebuild are available, at least to select vendors. I want the option to rebuild my own.

How the hell did it fix that? Just changing the oil and it will fix it?Just have a differential oil change,. Mine was fixed.. For now lol.
Hi,my guess is the electropneumatics in the rear diff are sensitive to fluid state (as it should be) just like old autoboxes and atf condition
though once physical damage is done then no amounts of perfect fluid will do much
wonder if we swapped diff oil at 5k or 10k or 1yr when the engine oil is done if that could have avoided the myriad of rear diff sad stories on here …?
