Warranty about to end. Anything in particular to look out for?
I heard a clunking as I turned my wheel. The first dealer I went to said it was normal, which I didn't believe. Went to a second dealer and they said that my front thrust arm will need to be replaced. Is there any other things I should be looking out for that commonly fail or wear out on a C63 that I should be on the look out for or get checked specifically?

If you were told the thrust arm bushings or arms need to be replaced by a dealership, what are you waiting for? Get it done before your warranty expires. AND, while it's in the shop, have your mechanic (I would encourage you to ask to meet and develop a semi-relationship witht ehmechanic) go over the entire suspension for you. Every time, EVERY TIME, I take my cars in for any work, I make it very clear to provide me a list of must-haves, should-haves and nice-to-haves regarding any type of repair or maintenance. Sorry, it seems like a no-brainer. But, being the son of a self-employed auto mechanic his whole life, I learned a long time ago how to take care of my cars. I was fortunate in that regard. In turn, I've passed on this knowledge to my son. I hope this helps you too.
