Instead they painted and greased the area after installing the new perches. BTW, MB paid 50% of my expense and they picked the bodyshop for me.

I checked it when I bought it which was in Jan of 05 and it seemed ok at the time.
Not sure which extra brace they have. I know we ordered some parts. Will have to look at it. The other side is fine so we are not doing anything with it. This is at the mechanical shop and not the body shop that we are doing it.
