Has anyone solved this problem on the w211? Having these exact symptoms on my 2005 E320 CDI. I have replaced most of the front suspension, done wheel bearings, tested bushings and ball joints ...it seems like the only thing left, and source of the noise is the steering rack. Have started to feel the clunk in the steering wheel even going down mostly even roads.

On multiple sites there seem to be posts with these symptoms and noises tracked down to the rack, but I have yet to find where someone has fully solved it!

Spending $600 plus for a rack seems like a gamble....
