Mercedes 190D – front suspension / tire rubbing issue

I recently bought a Mercedes 190D, and I’m having an issue with the front suspension.

When there are 4 people in the car, I can hear the impact/rubbing when the car goes over bumps or uneven sections of the road.

The noise seems to be coming from the front driver's side (first photo). I’ve attached photos of both sides for comparison

Could this be caused by worn-out shock absorbers or springs? Or is the car simply sitting too low?
Any advice on what I should check first would be appreciated.

Recommendation for new speakers. 4' and 5.25'

I bought a 1991 Mercedes 190D and I'd like to upgrade the speakers. I only have the front speakers (4 inches) and the speakers on the rear parcel shelf (5.25 inches); I don't have any speakers in the doors.

I'd prefer a simple solution that doesn't require any modifications to the car, but if the new speakers themselves need to be modified or adapted, that's fine with me. I'm just looking for something that can provide a warm, pleasant, natural sound in the car. I don't need heavy bass or high volume.

I don't want a subwoofer or anything similar. I'd also appreciate a recommendation for a new head unit if needed. My budget for the speakers is around €300–400, although I'd be very happy if a good setup could be done for around €200.

Thanks a lot!

Used Accord Tourer 2,0i 2010 with 275k km for 6500 eur.

Hello, I found a used 2010 Honda Accord Tourer with a 2.0i engine and 275,000 km. The owner has the full service history, and instead of a spare wheel it has an LPG system installed for lower fuel consumption. The price is €6,500. Do you think this is a good purchase? The car seems to be in good condition, but I’m concerned about the high mileage. Do you think the car can last 500,000 km? Thank you!
