Default Stabilizer link

I have had to replace my stabilizer links twice. Is it common for stabilizer links to break on mercedes?

no its not common, you mean actually break? or just go bad? you mean front sway bar links? in the past they did go bad and created a knocking/clicking sound while going over bumps.

Default stabilizer link/sway bar

Yes. The left (driver side) broke. I can actually see it. I normally replace left and right. I also hear that knocking/clicking noise. Do you also know how to manipulate the trunk. My trunk is broken and there is no troubleshooting that I can do to open it. My seats do not allow for me to fold them to get access to the trunk. Thank you

first did you try to use your blade key in the trunk? that should always open the trunk lid if the power options dont work.

Default blade key

yes I have tried the blade key. Like I mentioned before, my trunk is broken. Not even the blade key and following the steps of opening the trunk works. It seems like I would have to force it open somehow without damaging the body or paint. Any suggestions.
