Im getting a really bad kind of metalic clanging noice when I turn left!? Anybody know what that is? I know my description leaves alot to the imagination, but its a creaking kind of noise... also creakes when i get in and out of the car... kinda like a suspension thing... I dunno????

HELP!!!!!

Oh No. Another case of the deadly CL "Creeks". Use the search in W215 forum and you will find many threads about it. Thats what you hear when you get in and out of the car. Not sure about the other one when you turn left.

Maybe a ball joint / link? Any additional stress placed on the suspension? (ie: aftermarket rims?) Try pushing up and down on the side of the car you hear the noise coming from.. Sound like squeeking noise?

Everyone agrees its ball joints. Push up and down on it up front. Hear it ?
Funny thing about mine. If I drive it every day. It will start doing it again.
But since I give it 3 days off when I drive my SL. It seems to never do it again. I think every CL owner has had this issue at one time or another.

DAAAAAAAAMMMNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So whats the damage to have the ball joint replaced on these cars? Can i take ot to my local German Autohaus, or should I take it to the MB dealership?

My S-Class began doing the same thing on & off, but everytime I took it to the dealer, it wouldnt do it!
