Default RE: CLK 200 Rear Drive Shaft

Here's an update on my earlier posts. I have now had to replace both rear drive shafts on my 7 year old (60,000 mile) CLK 200. This is due to the failure of the ABS rings. It's cost me £2000!

Mercedes say that the corrosion found on the component is not uncommon given the age and mileage of my vehicle. They are prepared to do nothing to help me with the cost of the repairs. Frankly I think this is extremely poor as components like that should not fail in such a short space of time. I believe there is a reliability issue here which Mercedes are not admitting to.[/align]
