Mercedes-Benz E270 making a noise over speedbumps
My 54 plate E270 has had a noise from the front offside when going over bumps ever since purchase 11 months ago.
The Mercedes-Benz main dealer has heard the noise but after three visits cannot find the reason and can only say it might not be a warranty fault anyway.
Should I try again with them or go to another garage before the warranty runs out and get a second opinion?

Likely to be a suspension bush or an anti-roll bar sleeve bush. Yes. Get a 2nd opinion.

The front suspension rattles too much on the sharper pot holes, manhole covers, etc. My 940 Volvo seems better set.

What causes rear suspension air bags to explode? One blew out on our 2006 E-Class Mercedes-Benz before we replaced both rear shocks, and 12 months later it has happened again.
