- W124 E280 Estate/1995/2.8
I'm getting a 'clunking' sound (nearest best description) at the front RHS end on my '95 E280 W124 estate (120k mileage) when going over severe speed bumps (at low speed), sudden braking or acceleration from standstill, or turning at mid/near full-lock (low speed). The noise is intermittent. Specialist garage (very experienced with all W124s and reliable) thought it might be the coil spring 'sticking' to the lower mounting (and found that the spring was rotated out of position when investigating), did some remedial work but the noise returned. I wondered if it's the anti-roll bar end bushes that are worn (from previous Forum thread)? - but other ideas and suggestions will be welcomed.
