Exclamation Clunk Noise

This weekend i took my car on a long drive down the coast. I noticed that when i come to a full stop from maybe 30mph there was a loud Clunk noise. It feels like someone just tapped you from behind. I had a similar problem in my lexus truck. Lexus had to redesign the drive shaft and replace them on pretty much all the the GX470. They did not make it an official recall, just for those who were bothered by the clunk. This seems to be a similar situation.

It happend in both S and C mode, and please note that i dont drive rough. Im taking it into my local BENZ dealer so they can check it out.

Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?


P.S.- if any mods are reading this, Im requesting that we get an offical TSB thread for the W204

Sorry off topic, but I also request we should get a sticky thread for all the part numbers of interesting parts. Such as the AMG diffuser, Navi Upgrade CD, iPod Amplifier..etc (I have a few)

Regards,

Daniel

+1 but how about some stickies on DIY How-To stuff? I know some other members have requested this...

As for my car, I haven't noticed any such clunking sounds. I'll be sure to test it out tomorrow though. I should be doing some mixed highway/city driving. Will let you know afterwards at night.
