e320 suspension questions
 
i have a 2000 E320 with 148k on it, for a while i have been hearing a clunk noise when the left front spring rebounds. i want to replace the springs with oem type but i cant find anybody online who sells them..anybody know a company who does ?
also ive been reading that these cars are known for bad spring perches..how do i check to see if mine need to be replaced ?



thanks

The clunk may come from the outer bearings on the stabilizer bars.
If you have the car with the vertical armes attatched to the stabilaser-bars outer"end"
going down to the wheelbearing/wheelbase. The small rubber bearings in the vertical arms may be broken.
As metal touches metal you hear a small clunk passing "steep objects".
If I`m right its a easy DIY fix.
Good Luck.
