Hey guys. I just got my new C350 today. First Benz, absolutely adore it.

Everything seems perfect so far except a bit of cranky noise when the car moves when the steering wheel is turned all the way to one side.. is that normal?

And by the way, does anyone know any good shops for modding in the Los Angeles area?

Congrats on your new ride.
There is a TSB out regarding the front suspension torque arm bearings. I have had mine replaced and it fixed the problem.
Have fun with the mods!

yea i have that same noise issue... my car is about 3 weeks old...

is that bearing change done at the dealer?

and TSB??

Congrats on your new ride and welcome to MBW and what kind of MODs do you want to do?

Technical Service Bulletin- The dealer will be able to look it up easily.

Is there a link to all the TSB's for the new W204?

Thank you! I'll bring my car to the dealer in a couple days and have it fixed.

I'm not sure what mods to do yet but to begin with i'll probably paint the grille and eventually i'll change the wheels. any suggestions?

I have an arctic white C350 with black interior, P2 and MM package. I struggled for a long time about the panoramic roof but decided not to get it in the end.. which i don't regret :)

DAMN! i was driving yesterday and i hear a pretty loud squeak from the tire... initially it was when i turned... but then it was squeaking when i was driving straight aswell (5-10kmh) just rolling... sounded like something was rubbing...

stopped a while later... wtf.

could this be the bearing?

Congrats, qwerty. :y

Anybody know the TSB # or have a link to a TSB listing? I have the same issue when turning the wheel fully.

TIA.

I have the same issue when I turn my wheel all the way to one side...I thought it was because I put 20's on but guess not.
