c43 amg
Hi, i have had my c43 just over a month now , and had it serviced the first week i had it, at time of service they replaced a couple of swivel joints, rollbar bushes, 1 damper and an idler bush, i was told at that time that the steering tie bar needed replacing which i have had fitted today, i thought this would cure i clonk sound that can be heard when braking just before the car stops ? i am taking car back to the Merc specialist garage on Tuesday but if any of you could throw some light on what may be the cause it would be a great help ! thanks Leigh
 
Check the pads are not moving in the calipers.
 
clonking gone!

thanks to those who gave advice on the clonking noise my c43 was making when braking, it was as one or two of you had suggested that the pads were moving in the calipers, had proper set of pads fitted, now smooth and quiet when braking! cheers all Leigh
 
result!
 
is say wishbone bushes or suspension mounts, services dont always pick these up
