New to me 04 E500. PO old lady ran over a curb, so I was told there was all sorts of new front end items installed. But

1) On heavy acceleration, the front end pops up and it starts to pull hard to the left.

2) when I go over one of those short hills that make your stomach drop - as the front end comes up, it pulls HARD to the left for about 1/2 second. Which is more than enough to cause a heart attack, even if it doesn't actually send me off the road into a tree.

3) At low speeds, sharp turns, like out of the driveway, there is a 'clunk.' Sounds to be coming from near under my feet. My old 123 used to have a bushing right about there. Then again, it sounds like my BMW540i that did that and it was a bad ball joint way up front. Anyhow, clunk when the wheels are turned hard and going slow.

What's the usual procedure to hunt this down?
