Suspension knocking noise when Cold.

Haven’t been able to record the noise. However when the car is cold, there’s a definitive knock noise coming from the passenger side of the car, it occurs anytime the car is rolling and with engine off

Clicks/Knock accelerates with speed and left turns but not right turns. Once the car warms up it’s fine.

Thinking maybe Wheel-bearing or CV axle?

I had the same symptoms, replaced thrust arm bushings and strut mounts and all good since.

I was having a similar issue with a kind of clicking/chattering when car was cold and putting the car in reverse. Chatter got louder when on the throttle to back up....

Long story short, I recently had my motor mounts replaced and have not heard the noise since. Just another area to consider.

Good luck!

I do have a failing engine Mount, entire car jumps on the left side when I start it. Which is depressing because I did motor mounts when I replaced the engine several months ago.

@Xavier Smith II that is where I would place my bets as it solved my similar issue. That is frustrating if you just replaced the mounts recently. Did you use OEM mounts?

I used OEM Mounts from local MB dealer.

I would think so too, but the knocking noise is on the other side of the car.

Knock is gone but now it’s clicking when turning left. Sounds almost like a knuckle slipping if that makes sense?
