Hi Guys
Im new to the forum, I was hoping someone could help or is having/had a similar experience with their car?
I have a 1995 W124 E320 Coupe, full history, lots of paperwork and has covered 162,000 miles. The issue I have is that my car has a clunk/thud on the rear nearside quarter when going over bumps/pot holes. It almost sounds like something is bottoming out?
Its not a metallic rattle but more of a thud/knock, I am lead to believe it could be sub frame bushes or could be the shock absorber (no signs of Leaking). The car has been to my local Merc specialst who checked the car when I bought it, advisories where new indicator bulb and fog bulb and rear springs (car has Sports suspension option and currently waiting new springs to come directly from Mercedes in germany who are making them as we speak! no stock anywhere!).
I would appreciate some advise as I dont want to go through changing all the bushes to find out its a shock or vise-versa.
Thanks, Andy
