hello all, i just test drove a 97 s320. with the exception of a few cosmetic issues it seems pretty sweet. the only thing that i noticed was a slight front end rattle coinciding with bumps in the road. i am thinking bushings or shocks. i know its a pretty generic description of the symptom. are these things generally the same as other vehicles front end component wise? i am a pretty good alley mechanic who has done work on many vehicles over the years. any advice would be greatly appreciated. it has 100k on the clock. thanks jim

First thing to check is the swaybar bushings.
Very easy to replace.
