    Not that I know of, but a rebuild wouldn't hurt. I've repacked the bearings on my fiat before its a pretty simple job. Just take the hub apart and replace the old grease with new grease and reassmble. Also check for any damage/filings.
    Completely mad.

    Not sure about 202s I haven't tried as my bearings are fine. The fiat wasn't too bad. If you are mechanically inclined and have a shop manual its not a bad saturday afternoon project.

    Just did my 96 c280 passenger side yesterday. Not a hard job, but i replaced races and bearings. The brake caliper assembly will have to be removed, only 2 bolts hold it in place 17mm or 19mm. roll it out of the way. The dust cap will have to be removed via large screwdriver and hammer and tap around the edges, a 4-6mm allen wrench to remove the retaing nut, and the whole thing will pop right off. Now keep in mind if you are going to pull the rear bearing that a new seal will have to be purchaced. I damaged mine pretty good getting it apart. After my assembly the dang thing still pops. Now i know my problem lies elsewhere. Hope this helps.
