So should W124 owners chip away their coating and inspect ?
In other words, is there some preventative maintenance ? TIA, :-) neil |

spring perch failure @ 75mph on Mass Turnpike
Wow. This was an interesting event yesterday. Bang and it was gone. The whole thing tumbled under the car and is somewhere on Interstate 90 near exit 8.
I have the car at a local service shop here in MA. Does anyone know if MB is covering this yet or if they will service/replace the spring perch mounts? Phil

Is this something that could be a problem on W123s?

I love Mercedes and I am very loyal to the brand but this is thoroughly unacceptable.

NO.
It seems to be the W124 and newer chassis. |

Is there a list out, showing which years and models might be affected? I want to give this to several non-Mechanical friends. Thanks
