240D Front Suspension Bangs !

Hi Leathermang,

Thank you for your reply to my problem. I had my Benz in the shop yesterday and they think they have identified the problem with my front suspension banging !! They say it is the Brake Strutt Rod Bushings. I have had 2- Kits ordered and hope this will solve the problem. Lovedabch, in Virginia Beach

Then you are going to need to look carefully for signs of scrubbing.. places like the top and bottom of the shocks... the control arm bushings..... the balljoints ..... may have to look close because it does not take much travel for some of these noises to sound loud.. many travel through the frame and echo in the passenger cabin...
You do need to find this.. there is nothing which is supposed to make that noise in your car...so something ( maybe important) needs tightening or replacing...
