My daily driver 1974 W115 240D started wearing the edges of its front tires pretty badly. I chalked it up to bad control arm bushings and the curvy mountain road I drive every day.
I finally decided it was time to tear into the front end. When inspecting the subframe mounting bushings I noticed a crack all the way through the driver's side rear mount point on the body for the front subframe. It's all the way through. I also noticed some odd, ah, craftsmanship where perhaps the mount has already been modded. When I put a pry bar to it, I can see the crack open and the subframe shift.
I'm guessing this is the cause of my tire wear. Has anyone seen this before? Is it fixable or weldable? It's definitely off the road now... yikes!
If it is fixable, is it worth it? This is a daily driver with some rust--it's been a great car, but I'm worried this is likely the end of the road for it.
Thank you for the advice!
