Problem overview

Some Mercedes-Benz GLA250 owners report experiencing a persistent clunking noise from the rear right, even after a differential fluid change. This noise may be indicative of a rear differential issue, prompting the need for a thorough inspection to identify any underlying problems. Additionally, the clunking could stem from sway bar components, such as the bushing brackets or end links, which may require tightening to resolve the issue. Furthermore, some owners note that center differential concerns can also contribute to clunking noises, particularly during acceleration and cornering. If these measures do not alleviate the noise, it is recommended that owners seek a professional inspection from a qualified mechanic or a Mercedes-Benz service center for a comprehensive diagnosis and appropriate repairs.
