So just wondering if anyone else has these symptoms with their suspension or if its just me meaning my suspension needs replacing...

Synapsis: I have 19" all around which gives very little clearance. However I also have nearly 60k miles on my '05 c230k. Whenever I am driving down the road/highway and hit a decent size pot hole/lip in the road it literally feels and sounds like i just sent my suspension through my hood! But it just bangs real loud and then that's the end of it, it does'nt feel like i lose stability per-say...and normal city driving feels fine I suppose.

So I was just wondering if any other of you 19" guys out there have this problem or is it time for a suspension warranty call?

PS I literally mean it sounds like i just blew my suspension throw my hood! Scares the hell out of me sometimes!

i have a 07 w/ 50k. i dont really feel any of that. im on 19s also. you are going to feel the road more with larger wheels but its nothing that bad.

ya i figured i'd feel more road with the bigger rims and thus low tires...but its not just the road you know...its the major bang im worried about?! im worried about catastrophic failure the way it sounds! lol

I bet it's your bushings. Front lower control arm bushing is probably cracked.

Well first question is, "Are the wheels new?" and if so, "what size tire are you using?". If NO, then I'm w/ E1000
