Message:		Steve, look at the list I provided above from the FSM. The variations go both ways, as well as exact, for the 3 ratios available on W200s. What most people fail to realize is that the ratio is determined by the number of teeth on the ring and pinion gears. U CANNOT adjust the ratio in small increments. U can only add or subtract whole teeth from each gear. U cant remove 1/2 or 1/4 tooth. If the axle housing limits the physical size of the gears such that they cannot be the same front and rear, then it is unlikely that the ratios will match exactly. Its just a matter of simple math.
