    W203 (C270) New struts/shocks ball joints

    Hello all, I currently own a C270 and just the other day my front strut blew out and leaked oil all over my garage floor. I knew I was in need of new components a few months back, but I figured it may last until summer. My question is whether or not my C270 has different struts and shocks...
