    Spring compressor in Newport/Cardiff/Bristol area

    Thank you for the suggestion. I prefer to do my own work, if I am unable to find someone with the appropriate equipment I will likely buy my own, as a floor standing hydraulic press can be had for £80.

    Strange ARB issue (W209 CLK500)

    Interesting points and a reminder that I should not presume that because it *sounds* as though it's from the front, that it actually is. I will check the rear of the car as I have not looked there at all yet. I did find my front wheel bearings to be too loose, front discs heavily glazed with...

    Thank you for that input, I will test the tape method. Front ARB attaches at the midpoint of the shock absorber casing using a metal tab. Could well be rattling the old tired shock around and causing the noise?

    Hello MBclub, Looking for some input; I recently purchased a 2002 CLK500 with 150k on the clock. I have been working my way through the maintenance tasks usually neglected on such cars and have hit a bump in the road. I get a fairly heavy knocking noise when travelling on road undulations or...
