| Cracks in the rear sub-frame the necessitated a $3,000 repair that mercedes-benz would not cover. it was recommended that i not drive the car until the repair was made. the piece in question was above the rear axle and supported the suspension and rear springs. from research i have done it affected 1987-1988 mercedes station wagons. i read that mercedes covered this repair for 10 years, but not in the us. i think this repair should be a warranty item for the life of the vehicle. the replacement piece was much heavier than the one that originally came on the car. i kept the old piece if anyone needs to inspect the failure. *tr | |||
