Didn't sound right to me either... Just a matter of hooking it up to the 
star tool  resetting it, nothing to do with the state inspection...


It would be worth it to get an oil change, if nothing else at the 
dealer, just to get it taken care of.

I'd replace both rear springs ASAP, but can't say on the axles/axel 
boots, obviously you don't want to let things go. Certainly a good 
independent could get things sorted out for a little less? But please 
make sure if you go that route, that only MB or quality OEM parts are used.


I think I mentioned before that the dealer ( or an indi with Star 
Diagnostic) has to reset your malfunction message, it's a sub-menu you 
can't access from the cluster. If your not having other work done, plan 
for up to an hours labor charge at the dealer (not that it takes that 
long)

- Left Rear Spring  was cracked the mechanic said he could see the
car was leaning left and the crack was in the lower section which was
not visible to me on the lift.


- Front outer axle boots were leaking and the axles needed
replacing.

Lastly I asked him about a malfunction message

Sounds about right, assuming a MBCA scheduled maintenance went by without a 
reset. I'm glad my 210's message center is user-resettable.

I meant to say MBUSA, of course.
