Hi
My C320 ( W203 - Elegance ) ) has done 50,000 now and is just 3 years old I have had the car for the last 15 months ) and although in general I am very pleased with the car there are a couple of issues that I need advice on.
1. Basically the suspension feels quite harsh sometimes, but I have never been in another C Class so I cannot compare. It just seems when hitting sometimes small bumps/potholes etc.. it can be quite hard. It came more to light when I recently rode in a new Vauxhall Vectra which seemed to handle the bumps better than mine. The car went straight through the first MOT so I'm assuming that all is OK. Is the suspension ment to be slightly firmer because of the size/weight of car etc.. ! ? is that C Class suspension in general..
2. Also, I had a friend check the suspension, roll bar links etc.. and all seemed OK BUT if we rocked the wheels at the front, top to bottom there was some slight play but this occured on both front wheels so again, is this normal.. should this slight play be there....
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jay
