I just eliminated a thumping from the right-rear of the 190e. The sounds transmitted well through the body of the car and knowing the shock top was mounted abpve and below with rubber I didn't think it was that.
What was odd is it appeared only a certain spees (medium) not slow and not hight speed. Some bumps affected it .... others not.
I was prepared to have to do some serious repairs: links, bearings, mounts etc etc etc ....
...... turned out to be a "slightly" loose bolt at the bottom of the shock in the suspension arm!
