Once again great info and thanks. No info is ever too much!

So, update on the suspension:

I took my MB to a local suspension shop, they put it on a lift and said that all bushings and components look great and they can't figure out where the noise is coming from. I was shocked because I am one that hates suspension noises and figured it must be a bad bushing or something of that sort.

Should I value their diagnosis of nothing being wrong? I am going to assume no, and check the car out myself once I get it to my buddy's house that has ramps jacks etc.

The noise occurs over multiple smaller bumps. It sounds like something is loose or rattling. It doesn't sound like a lose exhaust though, but you never know.

The car rides excellent aside from the noise in the front right.

Are there other noise issues that this may be that the local suspension "experts" failed to see?

Thanks again.

I'll post updates as I find out what it is. Might be useful for anyone else with similar issues.
