w203 suspension question...
So just wondering if anyone else has these symptoms with their suspension or if its just me meaning my suspension needs replacing...
Synapsis: I have 19" all around which gives very little clearance. However I also have nearly 60k miles on my '05 c230k. Whenever I am driving down the road/highway and hit a decent size pot hole/lip in the road it literally feels and sounds like i just sent my suspension through my hood! But it just bangs real loud and then that's the end of it, it does'nt feel like i lose stability per-say...and normal city driving feels fine I suppose.
So I was just wondering if any other of you 19" guys out there have this problem or is it time for a suspension warranty call?
PS I literally mean it sounds like i just blew my suspension throw my hood! Scares the hell out of me sometimes!
