w203 front knock/clonk still there

[mbz124]

Hi Folks, I have changed both upper and lower arms, both strut bearings, both front shocks and now drop links for both sides, but i still get a knocking/clonking when going over bumps. The anti roll bar bushes are 2 months old. Any clues guys?? Could it be engine mounts? I have checked the sub frame bolts and all are tight.

Have you had the torque arm bushes changed? Believe that is a common problem on the 203 - mine went on my C270. Used to shake like buggery when braking, going over speed humps etc. Always felt like the front wheels were out of balance.

Bearings or the shock itself.

Or the roll bar is very worn.

Saw one snap the other day

Changing the tracking rods solved this on my CL203

was this the track rod ends only?
