tuk sound on turn - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

I hear a tuk sound from the front right side everytime I turn to right at 30-40mph. I had my mb technician change the idler arm bush, tie-rod, and draggling arm but the tuk sound is still coming.
Can somebody suspect where exactly is it coming from and how to get rid of it.

W124 230E 89.

Can be collapsed motor mount.

Can be heater fan contacting the box it's in.

I had a similar sound and it was from a bad lower A-arm bushing. Happened to me during turning and backing up while turning. Easy to check out.

Good luck

what is an A-arm bushing and is it different than idler arm bushing??

The A-arm bushing is on the suspension while the idler arm bushing is for steering.

Mine does a "tuk" sound when I brake but since my front suspension (W123) needs some fixing on Wednesday I will just let the mechanic fix it and if it still is there then it's something else.

A rattling sound could be the ball joint, as in a "tuk" when you brake. A creaking sound is rubber bushings.
