Right and left spring perches are rusting out and coming apart on a 1998 230 C Mercedes. Perches have to be rewelded so front wheels don't come off the car.

problem #1

Jul 292009

C230

  • 149,000 miles
The driver's side upper coil-spring mount tore away from the body structure, ejecting the coil spring and bushing, collapsing the front suspension and rendering the car immobile. The car was parked at the time so no collision. If the car was moving at the time of the failure there would be no way to steer it. Due to estimated repair cost of $1500-2000 versus resale value, the car was sold as-is and towed away.
