MB C class W203 - Lucian Deville
Hi

I've recently purchased a C-class MM, pre-reg and running fine. I have read about the car pulling and accelerated suspension wear.

My family has the new s and E class cars and some have the old c-class, no problems noted.

However, speaking to a guy at work who has a 18 month old c-class with 12k on the clock from new - pulling to the left and knocking noise, reparied a few weeks back by repalcing bushes on track rod ends? and re-tracking the car all under warnty. He told me of another guy he knows who had similar problems on a similar car just under 20 kt - he had many front suspension parts fitted, but car still pulls and makes noises but not as bad as before - the noise may also be coming from the rear springs.

Have I bought a good car, or should I think of selling the car?

Thank you.
