Is it a broken spring??

[JethroUK]

Only had my C220 couple of weeks
Quite a few ramps on our street
I noticed yesterday a 'clunk' from passenger/rear when I went over a ramp
Sounded like something in the boot but its empty
Its been clunking intermitently ever since
I have a 1 year warantee with the car
Is it a broken spring??
Is this a recognised fault?
Difficulty is making it clunk because it doesnt seem to relate to speed or how big the ramp/bump is, sometimies it clunks and sometimes it doesnt
Could it be a loose exhaust/brake fitting?

Yes...err...no. Who knows? Look underneath the car.

Is the cruise control on or off ?

Are the spare wheel and car jack properly fixed / tethered down?

It probably is a broken spring. They break off at the bottom where you can't see it.

What a shame the groupies can't give sensible answers to sensible questions...

These have an issue with the spring going out of shape and then it rubs inside the carrier..

It could be a broken spring ( quite a common fault ) , or a busted shock absorber , or a broken anti roll bar drop link , or any of the other things suggested above .

If you have just bought the car , and it is under warranty , why not take it back to the garage , telling them what is happening , and ask them to diagnose the fault and fix it under warranty ?
