Re: [MBZ] W210 and rust
Brian Toscano wrote: Is it true that perch rust only occurs in 2WD models? Yep. The spring perch is the upper spring seat, right above the control arm. Now imagine a drive shaft going out to the hub, right through the middle of that spring. Obviously, the spring has to go elsewhere. The 4MATIC models have the springs over the damper struts to make room for the half shafts. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] W210 and rust
My understanding is that the spot welds that hold the perch to the chassis rust and fail leading to potentially catastrophic results which could lead to a fatal accident. I'm not aware of anyone getting killed from this though. The W210 chassis is very rust prone in general. I have seen many very rusty examples here in the northeast. I'm actually looking at one right now:) Sent from my iPhone On Jan 7, 2013, at 10:38 AM, Jon Agne wrote: > Burr under saddle blanketor is it rust on the perch??? > > > > On Jan 7, 2013, at 7:50 AM, Jaime Kopchinski wrote: > >> Why so rude?
