- 1999 CLK 320 elegance 2001 C200 Kompessor Avantgarde
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 changed - no difference.
Next the anti roll bar bushes diagnosed as worn - changed - only a slight difference.
I think I have pin pointed the knock - its somewhere on the near side, the car handles ok so I have almost ruled out shockers but only almost - it could it be top strut mounting bushes ,or there again bottom ball joints.
I think I need help quickly on this one, or I will end up changing all of the front suspension components or go completly mad.
