I have a knock from the rear suspension strut on the right rear, it knocks when you drive and sits 15mm higher on that side.
When the car is bounced on its suspension you can feel that the noise is internal to the strut. When I cracked the oil feed to it there seemed to be air in the oil but the last time it was open was 5 years ago.
The car handles nicely still but I'm sure this is evidence of a strut failing, does anyone have experience of these going on the estates etc?
The car is a 1991 500E with 224,000km on it. The rear spheres, top mounts were replaced roughly 5 years ago.
Dave!
