Had this thumping noise in the front end of my 95 E320TE since I got it with 88K on it. Replaced sway bar bushings and steering stabilizer,,, no difference. Finally put a set of OEM front shocks on it. Wouldn't you know, the right front was totally shot and just rattling around up there. What a difference,,, made it like a new car.
