knocking noise

[worrall1959]

Guys can anyone please help me or advise me of a problem, I have a 2000 CL 500 2 door coupe, the bottom ball joints have been replaced as have the track rod ends however i am still getting a knocking noise when driving over bumps in the road !! i have looked at the different MB forums and could it be the suspension drop links !! if so does anyone know where i can order them from please.
Regards,
Phil

It could well be the anti roll bar drop links. Eurocarparts stock them and offer a Forum discount.

Could be any number of things . ARB bushes , shock absorbers ......

Have you tried 'bouncing' the car when stopped to see if you can provoke the noise ?

Can you localise the noise when it happens ?

It will not be the drop links on a 215 cl. Quite possibly the the ball joint pressed into the lower arm that the drop link connects to, but not the link itself
