I noticed you haven’t mentioned shocks. What do you have in there right now?

My noise is probably coming from the shocks. Sometimes I spray the spring pads and sway bar bushings with silicone oil and it may quiet it down but I’m not 100% sure that’s it. Looking forward to hearing what you find.
Not on the Mercedes but when the rubber cushions at the end of the Shock Absorber shrink or get compressed over time they can clunk.

I am just going to ad this here since I am here.
Also Under the Shock Absorber is the front end of the Guide Rod tube. It has thin rubber between it and some tapered washers. If it was for some reason loose it would also clunk.
