problem #1

C250 6-cyl

Was driving car and heard loud noise got out and saw front right side was sitting lower on one side. Car pulls hard to the right. Had my mechanic inspect. Concluded that the cup holder that holds the vehicles springs was rusted out. I have researched this issue and seems to be a common problem and or design flaw. Thankfully did not happen at higher speeds in dangerous conditions.
