Good morning all,
I'll give you a quick intro of myself as i am new to this group. First time MB owner, very satisfied so far, best car I've had, i absolutely love the car and i am looking forward to the invaluable knowledge being passed around on this group and i thank you all in advance.
Now to my problem,
When reversing out of a parking space/driveway and the steering wheel is either in the full left lock or full right lock or there abouts, there is a loud clunk coming from the front end somewhere. It only happens when the car has been sat for a period of time (overnight or a couple of hours). I first noticed it a week ago. My car is five years old and has 68,000 miles on the clock.
I searched a little bit last night through various MB groups and threads and it seems like it isn't an uncommon problem. However i couldn't find a definitive answer to the problem and a clear path to rectifying the fault. There was many ideas and experiences with hit and miss rectifications, but that golden solution was missing.
Have any of you wonderful people had this same problem and found a permanent solution? And should i be worried about this noise?
Yours gratefully,
Mike
