suspension

Hi, I have a 2006 CLS320 CDI with the Airmatic Suspension. I have my car lifted in the air and can easily move the upper control arm/ball joint up and down, I'm guessing this is not by design and this is in-fact a lot of play. Is it best to replace the whole arm or can I get away with just the...

Hi all, Just had a full service and MOT via the dealer and now experiencing problem moving between sport and comfort modes using centre console button. I believe it adjusts the shock dampers as it’s a non ABC version. Mode defaults to sport and only occasionally will it allow a change to...

Hi everyone. I have a w203 c180 kompressor and I've got an issue with wheel vibration at highway speeds. At 105 -115 km/h the steering wheel vibrates slightly but if breaks are applied or the wheels go over some rough patches on the road it causes the steering wheel to vibrate aggressively. The...

Hi, I recently had new front shock absorbers fitted (professionally) to my W123 230e, 1982, but am now getting a "light-weighted" knocking from one side. It is not metal on metal, but could be the shroud at the top of the absorber hitting below where it mounts to the underside of the inner...

So, I went to change front 2 tyres on KWIK FIT. The car started vibrating on front at 70mph with new tyres. Did a wheel alignment check later at same place and they told me it is off on left front side hence the vibration. Did not believe a word they said because the vibration should have been...

My S213 is sagging a bit on the driver side rear corner. It's subtle in the pics below. Much more noticeable in person. This is an SE BTW so no air suspension to be concerned about. I did a long drive a week ago where the boot was heavily loaded. Looking back on it, there was a lot more...

Morning all, I've noticed recently that i have a clunking noise at low speeds, not sure if it's from the front suspension or rear however, it's only just started. As my benz is now 11 years old and we've had it from new, is this the start of suspension related problems?

Hi all The front wheels of my CLK have some play so it seems the control arms on both sides need replacing. I looked on ECP and apparently there are two control arms for each front wheel, e.g. "front axle left front" and "front axle left rear". I believe I need new "front-facing" arms since...

Hello all I took my CLK for a wheel alignment yesterday, but was told the alignment is out of whack because of bad shocks (apparently passenger side is sagging so the toe/camber are all a mess). The alignment shop chap recommended me to replace all four shocks. After a day of internet trawl I...

Hi all, Hoping to get some advice for a recent issue that's popped it's head. When I accelerate or go over speed bumps, I get a medium creak from the rear of the estate. It sounds like it is coming from the Offside Rear. It's not all the time, but it is appearing more and more. I've just had...
