Why is there a loud clunk-knock noise when driving over bumps.
shocks,struts???
What is your question?
I own a 2003 mercedes benz CLK500 bought this car 2 1/2 years ago with 50,000 miles on it and when driving over even the smallest bumps (pot holes) on the road there is a loud knock-clunk noise, sounds like there is no cushion under tires(wheels) sort of speak and when driving over bigger bumps like some new parking lot entrances that imitate a small curb which I approach & drive over very slow the knock-clunk noise is really loud. I hear the noise more from the front tires then the back tires but all 4 tires (wheels) make the noise.I have 4 brand new tires on the car & even with the old tires on I had this problem. Before I bring it to the service shop i'm looking for some possible answers or solutions so I don't get ripped off, I bought the premium extended warranty when I bought the car so maybe hopefully this problem will be covered under the warranty. And we all know that the warranty never wants to pay(cover) anything.
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2003 Mercedes-Benz CLK500. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Could be what you stated.....but I would have them check the stabilizer end links and the airmatic system. The airmatic system may not be engaged to 'inflate the suspension'.
Ok I will have my mechanic look at this solution. Thanks
