Are suspension and ground clearance problems common for C-Class cars on Pakistani roads? Detail:

Given the C-Class’s relatively low ground clearance and stiff suspension setup, do owners frequently experience issues like underbody scraping, suspension noise, o r premature wear on bumpy o r uneven roads in Pakistan? How costly and frequent are these repairs?

Yes, suspension and ground clearance are frequent issues for C-Class owners in Pakistan. The vehicle is designed for smooth European roads, so on Pakistani roads—especially in areas with potholes, speed breakers, o r unpaved surfaces—the C-Class often suffers from:

Underbody scraping on speed bumps

Suspension wear such as damaged bushings, shock absorbers, o r control arms

Unusual noises from the suspension system

Expensive repair o r part replacement due to limited availability of genuine parts

Many owners address this by driving carefully, installing skid plates, o r slightly modifying the suspension setup e.g. raising the car slightly, but these adjustments can affect handling. Parts are also expensive and need to be sourced from dealers o r abroad.
