Spring Perch is about to fail !! FOCK !!!
I was just doing front rotors and pads on my 99 E55 , and i noticed the spring perch looks very weak !! Call My Indy and he say o yeah thats common problem, Did a search and saw lot of posts here as well, Dam it my car has no rust to be found , Im about to pull the wheels of my 02 and have a look. Glad I caught it ealry , could have been a lot worse.

Thx for the input Z , I'm going to my Indy tomorrow. I wish I could do this at home Midwest , I've never welded but am willing to try, I just don't have the time right now.

just got back from my indy , he's done so many he's got the perch replacement in stock. My car has no signs of rust, but the age combined with the moisture build up equal failure.

The 02 looks good, I'll be keeping an eye on it for sure. The shop also said the majority of the failures they've seen have been the right/passenger side. Not sure why.
