SLK 250 2013 Chassis rust

[StuMoore]

Hi guys please excuse the new profile. Long term member but for some reason my old profile won't work.

Our SLK was serviced this week and the mechanic noticed that there is a chassis brace inside the engine bay under tray that has got very rusty.

Does anyone have experience of this and know the correct name for the part. Any I come up with draw a blank.

Thanks

Front subframe?

Its a bolt on brace under the subframe but i have no idea what to call it to search for the part

This is an online version of the old Mercedes parts catalogue EPC. You could enter your car's VIN and then try and navigate to the appropriate assembly, though EPC isn't the easiest thing to use.

Sounds liie a cross brace.

Probably be able to unbolt it, clean it up and paint it.
