When I turn the steering wheel to the right, I would hear a "clunk" which seems to come from the left side of the car, near the left, front wheel. This happens when I start off from stationary. Sometimes at low speeds, just after starting off I would hear the sound too. I will hear it once, after moving off, and never at igher speeds.</P>


Also on steering, I can hear slight "tinkling" sound when I turn the wheel. It is like iron filings dropping onto a metal plate. Soft but distinct.</P>


Is something broken, or about to break? Is it expensive to repair?</P>

 

i have same problem on 98 sl 500, have not seen solution posted yet and my vehicle does not have the Brake strut bearing as the other MB classes
