Spring mount brackets, driving car turned left into lot car felt like it dropped a foot took to nearest auto place, pepboys the service guy turned the wheel and the spring shot out of the car amost severley injuring him. Missed him by an inch. Took to Mercedes body shop fixed it but said the other will do the same thing. I asked the service tec. If this has happened on other cars. His reply shocked me when he said several times on the C280 never has happened on the C230. It happened!!!! help if this has happened to you it will cost about $700 I could only think if I was on a interstate or worse. Thanks E
