Yes-I wondered where the dust was coming from-sure had to be the turbo 2.5.

To: Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Message-ID: <0kqg00cxw4xrs...@vms173013.mailsrvcs.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Hi, all. I think someone up there likes me. A few short weeks ago my car hit a pallet in the road (left side). I had the car checked over and aligned etc. all good. Since the last Chowdah Q the left rear tire has had a slow leak that I could not track down. Well, today I found it, a two inch crack from the inner rim edge towards the center, causing only a slow leak. My imagination is quite vivid enough to picture a wheel shattering at speed on the highway! Though I'm not religious, it may be time to give thanks to the Big Guy or one of His angels.
