Hi there,
I have recently heard a slight knocking coming from the front end of my 99 C280 Sport (101k on the clock). I put it down to ball joints, which I have now changed but the sounds still remain.
It happens most when I 1st drive the car in the mornings then quiets down a little as the car warms up. The last time I heard something like this was on my Renault Laguna & that turned out to be anti-roll bar link arms. The anti-roll bar bushes seem ok & the springs are fine also. The Shocks do squeak a little when I go over speed bumps but there are no signs of leaks.
I just really wanted to know if anyone had any idea what it could be before i spend lots of money on shocks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Lee
