Hi, All.
Question:- On my '87 190Dt the left front torsion bar bracket fractured,
signalled by an odd and intermittent clunking up front. This car has been
in an accident (front) and repaired, though the clunk started only
recently. Is this a common event or is this more likely the result of the
previous accident? Enquiring idiot want's to know.
TIA
Torsion bar failures are rare except from accident or occasionally after
20 years from rust in earlier models. I've not had any problems in any
of my 201s and reports of such failures (except for bushings requiring
replacement - especially in early 124s) are very rare.
