Steering Clunk
My steering wheel is making a slight clunking noise when I move it across a certain area. If I move the wheel across the area that would be 11 on an clock with hands.
Anyone know what it might be? I have an appointment for an MB service tech to take a look at it, but it is always good if you can demonstrate some knowledge. I always feel MB are reluctant to do anything while under warranty, I bet as soon as it runs out they will hit me for a bunch of stuff.

I think I have heard this noise as well. Only rarely though. I have 16k on mine so far. will see if it gets worse. Let us know what service dept tells you it is.

The "Clunk" on my C230 @ 30,000 km was repaired by the dealer. They replaced the front stabilizer linkages under warranty. Funny thing was that I didn't mention it to them, they found it themselves and did the work while the car was in for service. I am pretty satisfied with the service I receive from the dealership. Unfortunately, not all people can say that.

I have a similar but different problem... Whenever I turn the wheels hard left or hard right, my car moans. I have a feeling it's because of the power steering mechanism, but my fluid is at the correct level and you'd think that would be something they replace at service B (which I had 3k miles ago).
