Greetings All
Got a curious issue with my Beloved GL350cdi.
had new Pirelli boots all round a month ago, everything great then a week later I hear a speed related clonking sound (metallic), at first thought it was road stones in tyre treads. Never happens on first use, generally after 10-20 miles, but here’s the rub when it happens it’s not repeatable. Sometimes when pulling away from stationary the clonking happens, stop then start off again and nothing and other times its there. Never had the clonking before the tires were changed. I’ve taken the wheels off checked to see if anything obvious but couldn’t see anything, put wheels back on and did wheel bolts up with torque wrench. Weird thing is when the clonking happens if you lift the air suspension one level the noise goes, but it can come back a little while later. The only known issue is the discs all round are getting to minimum thickness although the pads are 20% worn, I’m going to replace these is the coming month. Any ideas welcomed. Thanks in advance. Cheers
