E55k AMG Sold / S211 E320 CDI I6 sold W212 E63 6.2 N/A saloon. S212 e250 cdi .
Car passed Mot in January without any advisories which I was happy about. Not sure if it's me but I feel it could do with a front suspension freshen up. I dont want to lay out silly money as my own work hasn't been plentyfull of late. But I still would like to take away which I feel is a bit of a not so nice front end ride quality. I did replace lower control arms on my previous s211 e320 and that really improved the ride comfort I was really happy with the outcome.

What on the 212 chassis on the front suspension would be the first front suspension components to be looking at replacing. Also can suspension components fail in such a little time from when the mot didn't show anything up. If it helps diagnose anything it seems to ride less well when the car is fully loaded with the Mrs and the three boys onboard. I'm thinking front springs maybe on there last legs?

Thanks
 
Driving the car this morning for a good run. Three onboard the car felt spot on, on a ride comfort factor. I think it's me to be honest.

ill book it in to have the suspension inspected.

The condition of the roads I think is the main contributor to my findings.
