Exclamation 2004 E320 Wagon Spring after 74K Miles...

I couldn't believe it.....

Drove about 300 miles and simply put my car in the garage. After a few days (have a second car from my job) went to the garage to get a cd form my benz and saw that my car is laying on the ground!!!!!!!!
I was shocked! how it is possible that after jus 74K the spring simply broken itself? attached the pictures of it....fortunatelly my friend knows a mobile service and they came to me and changed the spring in the garage, but I had to wait until the part comes from Germany....

I had a bad experience, first had to change middle lower ball joints then a transmission cable connector (or something like that) because I had a huge leak, last month both valve cover gaskets....and now the spring....it's unusuall for a car in this class....my friend has kia sorento with 80K miles - had no repairs.... I don't wanna talk to him about cars..

my other car now is a yellow renault kabgoo....had a few in the company with a lot of miles on them - nothing bad with them...no comment

peace
