I noticed that when braking the rear of the car would kick out to the right. A imbalance on the rar brakes was picked up on the previous MoT so that was my first suspicion. I started to hear som unhealthy noised form the rear so while I was soritn gout the broken front right spring I took a look and it ws soon obvious that there was some serious corrosion on the rear subframe. The first thing I did was to look on eBay for a replement subframe. I then did a Google search and found many forum posts on this subject. It is a common problem on the W204 and quite a few people in the UK had have their subframes replaced by Mercedes under warranty. I called a local specialist and the first thing he told me was to "get on to Mercedes" so I booked it in with a local dealer (Mercedes-Benz of Bradford) for a free inspection. During the inspection they found some other issues (they inspedted the whole car) which will be addressed in the future which will make for more content. The subfram was that bad that the car wasn't safe to drive. Fortunately, the subframe is covered by warranty and will be replaced free of charge. I was told that the subframe is on back order and they were unable to provide me with any timescales but I've had word that it is 4-6 weeks. Time will tell...
