Folks,

I have an '85 190E (W201) parts car......it also has a similar problem on the right front spring perch.....I had not thought much of it, chalked it up to salty winters and hard use, but I was not intending to run the car in the first place.....got it for $150.00, and it had brand new front struts (now on 190D)....

SB
