Hey there.

More trouble!

I have a 1994 Mercedes Benz E320 Sedan, manufactured in 2/94.

My right rear suspension has been rattling for about a week. At first, at a relatively high frequency, kind of like a ping pong ball bouncing as the paddle closes in on it to the table surface. A relatively light sound. Today, a good bang started up in potholes.

I looked underneath, and found chafing on the back edge of the control arm where it has been hitting the disk like body mount above it.

The rear suspension is level, but I have noticed over the last few months that a diagonal bounce has developed from left front to right rear of the car when going over uneven surfaces, and suspected that struts would be in order soon.

Now it appears that I might do some real damage if I don't get her fixed up pronto.

I know I've been bad, but I sure would appreciate a second chance at getting some help here.

Can anyone give me an idea of what to look at first?

MUCH appreciated.

Mark
