Description of the problem	Tl*the contact owns a 2002 mercedes c320. When driving over a pot hole or bump in the road at speeds of 20 mph and higher, the contact stated that he heard a loud "metal to metal" noise coming from the front of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the bushings were replaced under the factory warranty. Four years later, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent technician who replaced the bushings for the second time as well as the front control arms. The front driver's side power seat failed and when taken to the dealer, he was advised that the driver's side front seat electronic control unit would need to be replaced.
