[W126 Coupe] Groaning/Creaking front end!?!?!

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Jon:

You may want to consider new wheel bearings and the seal for each 
spindle/hub at the same time. As I recall the seal will likely need 
replacement and depending on the mileage you may want to do both inner 
and outer bearings just so you don't have to revisit this bit of work 
again any time soon.

Regards,

Dick
