C240 2002 with 34K miles on the clock ( yeah low mileage )
I have noticed if I hit a dip or bump on the front passenger, it feels really harsh.
Usually if I hit a level speed bump, everything feels fine.
I think I must have a worn coil spring on the front passenger. Previous owner is a family member and they would regularly ( for 20 years ) park on the curb and most likely I assume have caused some wear to the spring by doing this.
Does this sound an accurate diagnosis ? I have done lots of work on the car and the springs are in very good condition considering the age of the vehicle, don't remember seeing any corrosion or leaks from the shocks
As I do not want to work with coil springs ( safety ) I would rather the mechanic do the job.
In regards to good shocks/coils, will anything do ? As it is not a particularly sporty car, just a nice soft chilled out ride.
I would likely get shocks and coils done at the same time for good measure.
Something mid-range such as napa/apec/nk/febi/kyb whatever.
Thanks
