2001 Mercedes Benz C320
Why is this happening with my 01 C320
- my car vibrates violently when in any gear besides neutral.
- I have 2-3 different ticking noises that come from my dashboard when I turn my car on, then it stops after about 5 minutes
- the car jerks hard when I speed up after already going a decent speed (above 30).
- it squeaks really loudly when I'm going over speed bumps or driving over a bumpy road but only when I'm going slow??
- I've noticed that after I park that there's a small amount of smoke coming from my car and it's literally only from driving around town.
I just want answers or maybe suggestions as to what these problems could be. My dad (who pays for my maintenance) won't go to any other mechanic besides my ****ty one.

OP you would need to get up under the vehicle and look at them to make sure they aren't cracked/rotted. I just replaced mine on my 06 C230 but they weren't too bad.

you keep dudes in your trunk? On another note, that was just a suggestion to possibly send you in the right direction, i hope you had the shop inspect your mounts before replacing them because there are also Flex discs on your driveshaft that can contribute to vibration. Squeaks are common suspension bushing noises (stabalizer bar bushings)
