You might ask your alignment shop for a preliminary inspection. The handful of recommended alignment shops I visited didn't charge to tell me what I needed before they'd work on the car. The MB dealership charged me $150 to tell me I needed $900 in work before they would perform an alignment. My last 3 MBs didn't cost $900.

Nope...no clunking and the brake discs are fairly new (Less then 5 years old) I'll have to get my hands on the brake calipers in a few days once the weather clears up again. I'll also have to research and find an alignment shop.
