I had read about the fix on this forum and was rather amused when the M-B service advisor called and said "Well, we did what, um, you suggested and it, um, fixed the problem". What she didn't say was that one of her lead techs had been chasing the noise for the better part of a day by the time they tried what I had told them to do when I dropped off the car. To their credit they didn't even try to charge me for the service visit ...  |
That's why when you do suspension work you tight things up with the suspension loaded.
But who remembers or cares.
