"Knocking" from CLK55 suspension.

[peterg1965]

I have noticed the occasional knock from the suspension of my CLK55. Not sure if it is the rear or front, but it is a usually a single knock, heard when turning going in reverse and sometimes going forward, difficult to say when but it may be when turning corners. I know that it fairly vague, sorry! Any ideas?

Broken spring?

Broken spring?

Olly, how would I tell? Are there any other signs if it was?

sounds like it could be anti roll bar link, if it is worth replacing both sides as they tend to wear fairly equally

nah ollie is right - one spring broken at the end. Try bouncing each corner of the car up and down - you MAY be able to replicate it then you will know which spring. They are not expensive so not the end of the world!

Drop links?

Common Merc problem, quick fix though.

Could even be the lower ball joints, my E55 suffers with those and drop links.
