Well this makes sense to me now. This would also explain why my other c280's bushings and tires have been destroyed in less than 3-4 months. I know for a fact the shop I used didn't use MB bushings. I'm not sure where they came from - I asked if I would be getting MB parts, to which I was told there were products out there that were just as good and a lot cheaper. What a very expensive lesson for me to learn. But now I know. Incredible!

Thanks everyone.

CASE CLOSED
