Good morning everyone. I'm looking for help if you are so kind. On my 2010 w245 6 months ago I changed by myself control arms, sway bar links and outer tie rods. All TRW components. Two weeks ago I started hearing some rare metallic clunks during low speed steering (like for parking), especially in rear gear. Noises are getting worse and more frequent. On the steering wheel I don't feel any shake or jerk (probably I can exclude the steering rack?). This weekend I'm gonna remove the wheels to check the cv joints who are the first suspects. I know this model is notorious for breaking cv joints and racks, anyway do you know how could I make an accurate diagnosis only with a cric? If the cv joint rubber is still intact and fine, could it be broken anyway inside? I don't know how to diagnose the issue. Thank you very much for help
