Mercedes: 1985 MB 300SD - Front Suspension, control arm bushing, 300sd
QuestionI just purchased a nice diesel in hopes of having a reliable car with better fuel economy. Drove it home from Dallas today for a total of close to 600 miles. Hummed right along.
I do have a concern that I'm hoping you can help me narrow down. Whenever I hit a bump, there's a knocking noise from the front suspension. I thought maybe a bushing was worn out or something. But, I can't feel anything that seems loose.
Can you point me in a direction to check?
