C Class W203, vibaration

[MSG2004]

Hello - yet another problem that has ben creeping up on me.

did not bother with the dealer as they would not of heatrd it, but getting louder and soon will take the car back.


In my works car park which is a multi story car park - when i drive in/out and its very quite - there is a vibaration kind of sound when turning 90 degree corners to the right - it appears to be coming from the rear - very slightly increasing by the week.

I've had some clonking noises and pulling to the left fixed when i first got the car. Still makes a slight clonking noise at times when i gently drive over speed hums.

All advice/help appreciated.
Thanks

My guess would be that it is a broken spring. Seems to be a common fault. If it is, yours would be the 5th one I have heard of including mine. Not a particularly expensive repair but it really should not be happening. I mean after all these years of manufacturing cars you'd think they would be able to make something as simple as a spring last more than a few years.

Mine used to make a constant clonking/knocking noise after a while and was diagnosed to be a dry ball joint which was then lubricated whith rets of teh suspension and problem solved. The Stealer that I now use has again recently iinspected mys suspension and said that my W203 out all the ones they work on everyday is very quiet in comparison and car drives nicely. According to them all the W203s have a slight dinging nosie from rear suspension after a while. The head technciian and technciian who specifically works/services all the W203s took mine out for test drives and said it was fine and had car up on ramp for visual checks. Do any of u have sports suspension?

Thank you. Will wait a while longer and see if noise increases as i don't want to take it down and they can't hear it.

Tends to happen more when there is someone sat on the rear right and i hit a bump and it goes Booooing...

I am just going to get the damn thing lowered instead buying new springs or someones c32 springs on site!!
