Mysterious clicking noise in 1999 e320
Last time I drove my 99 E320 I noticed a slight clicking noise when accelerating out of stops. It was very quiet, sometimes even inaudible, but still worrisome. It only happened when coming out of a full stop and it went away shortly after.
Out of fear that it could be my u-joint or carrier bearing going out, I haven’t driven it since (about three days). I haven’t gotten the chance to get it on a lift to check it out myself.
Any suggestions about what it could be? And if so, is there a price estimate on how much it will be to fix it, either at home or in a shop?

That's a tough one, it's always a bit more difficult to diagnose if the car doesn't feel any different - I would still try pulling some codes, even if you didn't get a CEL; you'll likely still have some stored codes that hopefully will help you in troubleshooting where the issue is coming from.
