It's tragic that Mercedes chose to cheapen the cars in this way. . The car-series has so many good things going for it, that the weak points drag it down at times.

Agreed, the w210 is a wonderful driving car and is well designed, just not built well.....

I'd like to know what the failure is, whether there are some cars that were not adequately welded and suffered metal fatigue, whether this is an all cars issue or only those without correct welds. I don't think that rust is the whole issue here.

I think it affect all cars, it was bad enough that there was a Canada only recall on the spring perches. I believe the dealer would scrap off the sealant, inspect and reseal or replace the spring perch as was necessary
