For the past few months i've been knowing that my suspention system has been going bad that's why I decided to stop driving it...

About a month ago I needed to get to work real bad and had no ride because of how early it was. Well I figured my 300E could take one more trip. WRONG

The drive over on the highway was the most scary thing I have ever encountered. The whole car was wobbling and I rejoiced when I got to work!

Lets just say that was a one way trip, when I got done, I hopped in my car ready to take on the drive home, i backed out of my parking spot turned the wheel back and started to drive. At that time the front right end of my poor 300E dropped to the ground and started to tear up the parking lot.

Lets just say I knew exactly what happened, my balljoint had rusted thru and couldn't hold the force of the spring anymore.

The way I see it is that the Mercedes wanted to break down before I got on the highway (which was 50ft away). Smart Car

Dumb driver for not having the money in time. But I just got to watch my poor baby being towed off the the shop about 2 hours ago and I'm looking forward to having her back in a few days.

Now that I explained my story, could anything else have been damaged in the accidient? The control arm is a little scrapped up, but it seems like it's going to be fine. Also I have many linkaged is the back that need replacing (metal on metal), could history repeat itself in the back end? It seems like the only way I could keep that car up is if I won the lottery!

Anywho, thanks for your help and I hope this story made you laugh a bit
