My 2000 E430 has just started making a popping sound from what I believe is the left front. A month ago I installed new H & R sway bars and bushings. It has taken this long for the noise to appear. Happens when I am turning into a driveway or on a bump when the wheels are turned. Had it on the lift today and the tech checked all bushings, wheel bearings, etc. Nothing seemed out of place. One sway bar bushing he said looked a bit odd. He suggested hitting the sway bar bushings with lubricant.

I am running E55 AMG Bilstein shocks. Could these shocks be too tall? They have been on the car about 2 years.

Car was lowered 4 years ago way before bar install. Car only has 36K miles on it.

Anybody have a clue what this is?
