'99 ML430 Engine Mount Noise?
I have a noise....sounds like a classic engine mount collapsed noise at 10 to 45 mph under mild acceleration.
Anyone else experiencing same? I had it on the lift today and found right rear lower ball joint worn and track arm end worn on same wheel allowing the wheel to steer about half a degree off....accounts for the 'bump thump' from that end.
I looked at both engine mounts but they appear to be passive solid rubber and both look in good shape with some movement in them when I pried the engine....I expected them to be hydraulic type.
Drivers side looks to be a difficult one to get to. All fluids clean in both final drives. At 75 cruise vehicle is very quiet. Quieter than the 2000 Bentley Red Label I drove recently.
Anyone care to comment?
