knocking

A while back I posted about a slight knock from the front of my E320 when going around bumpy corners.Turns out to be the very first thing I checked.... the 3 small nuts on the top of the offside suspension turret.These are only lightly torqued (20 Nm) at the factory and can work lose.There are...

Hi. I have a 2002 R170 SLK. I have noticed 2 unusual noises. One seems to be coming from in front of the bulkhead on the passenger side near the floor, and the other seems to be coming from the area just above and behind my left ear when sat in the passenger seat. the front noise only seems to...

Hi all, Just wonder if anybody here has some ideas to my problem. I had all shocks (MB) replaced on my 98' W210 last Friday. All of them now seem to make a knocking noise when going through potholes. I made the garage who replaced them to double check that all fixing are tight. They are...

Hi only got the car E320 TD (five years old 38k) on saturday and found today its starts a slight knocking noise increasing with speed (tick,tick,tick) upto 37mph and above that it disappears - any ideas. Thanks

Hi, I have a knocking noise on my 2000 s280 from front off side when going over potholes and (dreaded) speedbumbs. Having read other posts it sounds like lower ball joint problems or drop links problem. Can anyone tell me if you need to buy whole wishbone to get these ball joints and drop...

It's a light, mechanical repetitive tapping noise apparently coming from the rear offside area usually heard when driving slowly (20mph) over bumpy roads. It produces two or three quick, light taps, then nothing. Even when the boot is emptied of everything including the warning triangle. Not...

I have noticed a slight knocking noise at idle on my E300TD. Nothing major (at this stage ), you really have to listen to pick it up. If I rev the car ever so slightly, the tickover smooths out and the knocking noise goes away. From another MB board a contributor advised a possible cure ...

hi all, i have just developed a new noise, a loud knocking / deep thumping from the rear passenger side wheel area i think. its only audable in the car, not from the outside, and its when i set off up to 20mph ish then goes. its not there at ay speed over that. if i get to the speed that...

Hi all, another problem for you please. My 300CE has developed a quite alarming knocking sound when driving - it has been coming and going for a while, but seems to be there all the time now. I was told a while ago that the centre propshaft support bush would need changing but the local garage...

Hello and Happy new year to all. I have just bought a C220 CDI, its a late 2001 Diesel 6 speed manual with 56K. I have a bad knocking noise from the front when going over speed humps, pot holes etc. The dealer has replaced the role bar bushes that has made things betterbut not totally sorted...

I get a slight knocking / clonking noise from the front wheels when I go over small potholes or bumps and a very little vibration back through the steering wheel. I had the balljoints replaced about 10,000 miles ago, so do not expect them to be the problem. It feels as if the whole of the...

Hi guys + gals, After a recent service I was advised to replace the front propshaft coupling. The garage said this would stop the gears knocking when changing or selecting gears. Unfortunately, after getting it changed nothings improve so I went back and now they say they need to put the...

have a loud knocking from centre of dashboard at the top behind the vents when switching the ignition on, fades off after about 10 seconds, anyone else had this problem on a 209. cheers

Hi everybody, Been away for a while, but back now and hoping somebody can help! My W210 E320 has a knocking sound from the rear end. It only occurs when the car is coasting (i.e. not on the throttle and not under load) at about 5mph. It seems to be consistent with road speed. When I...

I bought a very nice 300e saloon last summer with 118,000 on the clock. It has every conceivable extra- the chap who ordered the car apparently ticked every single extras box on the order form! The car therefore has self-levelling hydraulic suspension. Whenever the car is warmed up and at a...

Well as you may or may not know , purchased a 203 C200 Komp Avantgarde with 70.000 on the clock ( cheap I may add) a few months ago. After owning the car for a couple of days I noticed there was a knock from the front end, this was diagnosed as the the drop links, which I subsequently...

My car has been knocking for a while now (w210) i assumed it was the exhaust becase it needed replacing and was a bit loose had movement in it when turning corners etc. Now that i have had the exhaust replaced the car is still knocking i got it checked from a national tyres garage they thought...

Hi guys, Think that this is my first post on here. I hope you can help me with this. I have a 1999 S500 LWB (W220 shape). Came home last night and my engine is making a knocking noise that sounds just like big ends knocking. Had a mate who is a mechanic have a listen to it today and said the...

Hi, I have 1994 E320. I am getting a knocking noise (not loud) from the front at ~ 30-50 mph. The density of knocking is related to the speed and it's faster then wheel spin. I have new front brakes (rotors/pads), new struts; There is no play in the steering wheel and the rest of the...
