Hello,

I am the proud owner of a 1999 E320 4matic wagon. I have owned it for about 2 months. It has 65k miles. I recently noticed a small drip coming from the transmission and took it to a local foreign auto mechanic that I located in the yellow pages. He fixed the leak (I'm very suspicious of what he actually did) however suddenly I have encountered a new problem and am concerned he has disabled something to get me back in to him. Now to the point.... When I go over a bump or make a turn at a corner I'm hearing what sounds like the rear springs making a pinging noise. Only owning the car for 2 months I'm not able to tell if the rear suspension is acting different or not. I did look under the hood by the wiper fluid tank and there is plenty of rear suspension fluid ( at least I think thats what it is). I also have no evident warnings or service lights coming on. Can anyone give me any pointers.

Thanks

only by listening that you can determine the source.

try to apply the brake and rock the rear area.

 

Sleepwalker:

Does the rear suspension work off of a hydraulic system. Is there a pump that could have been unpluged or disabled somehow? What manuel would you recommend I buy to give me a basic overview of the car?

Thanks for responding
