S212 Rear subframe

[Candellara]

Our E350's just had it's annual and have been told that the rear subframe requires replacement under warranty.

Anyone else had their subframe done and were there any additional items needed doing whilst the subframe is out? I'm told that it's worth getting rear brake lines renewed?

See W201_190e's comment - I recall he used to work for a Merc dealer and now works for a specialist.

Any Merc with a steel subframe from the last 10 or 15 years. A mate had a CLK subframe replaced recently, FOC.
