I am having not really an issue but some noise which eventually might be a problem.
The noise is coming from the rear end somewhere, cant locate exactly where from tho… it is kind of a squeaky noise, only hearable at lower speed and when the car goes on bumpy roads, also sometimes on straight roads aswell but mostly when its bumpy and low speed.
I have gone thru the suspension, with the absorber and it goes in slowly with pressure and out slowly on release. lubricated what i could when i comes to the suspension and also tried lub on the bushings and all that without success.
Next will be to replace the bushings if no other success. I had contact with few people but hard to locate but they suggested it might be the bushings for the rear differential, so i have now ordered the 3 bushings for the diff.
(Brakes has also been replaced all around the car with same sound before and after…)
My question is if anyone else here maybe had same issue or just come with input what it might could have been.
The car is not tuned (what i know, might been before) and not really driven hard in my ownership.
The car has 90k miles on it, year 2016, estate/wagon.
I have a recording of me trying to hit the bumpy road to make the noise hearable thru phone. You guys could try to hear and get back to me with your thoughts etc, thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Brandon

*SOLVED/SOLUTION*
I got told the module on the damper could be the issue, in my case it was the same!!!
Removed the contact from the damper module and the sound got away directly, in my case it was rear right damper module which made the sound. Running fine otherwise but now I can live with the sound because I know what cause it until ill order a new damper. Hope this helps you other guys with same sound but might another damper!

Oh yes, the mystery noise. See the thread below. Somebody tracked it down to the damper module. I have the same noise coming from the rear. I've been unsuccessful in getting it resolved by the dealer, but it's not clear if it's actually an issue. Several cars seem to have this noise. I'm planning on getting it escalated with MBUSA and get AMG involved, but I'm starting to think it's actually normal.
For PFL cars there's also a service campaign that addresses a similar noise: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/20...69608-9999.pdf. Not sure if this is a regression, but so far there's no software update for FL models. I showed this campaign to my SA and the foreman, but they didn't find anything for 2019+ models.
If anybody has had success in getting this resolved, I'm all ears.
Here's my most recent attempt to get them to do something about it:
