Hi all, I've got a 1982 w123 280e. It's in pretty good nick apart from a worrying crunching sound I get from the n/s/f when i go over speedhumps or potholes. It's quite hard to describe other than saying that it sounds like creaking rubber or plastic! Does anyone know what it could be? I posted on here a couple of weeks ago and got some really helpful advice so thanks in advance!

Examine the lower ball joint, they are the common cause of the creak. If it is dodgy get it fixed soon since they fail by falling apart.
