Hi All, I've noticed my suspension makes the occasional squeak and groaning noise from time to time and has done for a good while but I went to a steam rally yesterday and it became very noticeable driving in the car parking field. I'm not sure if it's the arms or the shocks, or the bushes...

I started hearing some knocking noise when steering right at the back of my W209. The noise goes away as soon as you straighten the steering.At slow speeds is less noticeable, and more noticeable at high speeds. I can only assume this is the constant velocity joint. Did anyone have this before...

When the car is cold I get a knocking sound when going over bumps or holes in the road but if you say drive for an hour it nearly goes away.

There's a distinctive knocking in the steering column when driving slowly over speed humps, I've not sensed this any other time, maybe it's the relatively slow speed and direct / even pressure on both front suspension that's causing this? I've tried a search here but found little info. Is this...
