Three problems related to suspension have been reported for the 1997 Mercedes Benz 320. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
4/3/2012 for 2 days rattle from left front end. Had it checked at independent tire dealer. Said strut bushing dry. Lubed it. A few hours later nose intensified and spring and other pieces fell onto road as I was turning left into condo driveway. Having it towed to dealer. Had I been at speed and/or in traffic things could have turned out very bad. All 97 e320's should have this area inspected.
When driving at 40 the vehicle is shaking and the rubber is pulling away from the tires on the vehicle.
Since purchase vehicle has been pulling to right. Took to dealer 4- 5 times, did wheel alignment and changed tires. Vehicle will not retain a wheel alignment, constantly pulls to right.
