Sorry if this is in the wrong section but I'm not 100% sure if the fault is suspension or drivetrain.

2003 CLK 320, its developed the following issue;

At speeds of over 35mph, any reasonable turn to the right results in noise and judderng from the NSF wheel.

The same problem occurs under sharp breaking.

It's rather annoying and I'd like to correct it.

Any ideas or suggestions appreciated.

Note on the above;
Just tested again to make sure facts were correct.

Noise & judder happens WITHOUT braking but on right hand turn as well as when braking hard.

Whilst in my local MB dealer earlier on another matter (replacement key price following 'puppy' issue.... £250!!!) I asked and they said driveshaft or lower torsion bars?

I'm sort of unconvinced
