    Mersedes Benz C240 1998 Est. 2.4 V6 - Suspension is knocking over little bumps Archived Message

    Hi folks,
    I need some help on this one. The suspension is knocking over little bumps and rutts in the road, sounds like anti roll bar links or maybe steering rack play. Cannot find any movement and car has just had an MOT.
    I put microphones on different parts of front suspension and found the shocks to be noisy, replaced shocks and its just the same. The car has done 125,000mls.
    Something I noticed the other day while checking my own van (sprinter) for MOT, the front wheel bearings had some play (very small and normally passable) so I adjusted them, the van has always been noisy over bumps(am i boverd)but it seems a bit better now (or am i just dreaming).
    The C class seems a bit knocky from the rear aswell.

    Cheers, Kim
