I have a 00' w208 CLK430. I am hearing a clunking noise, kind of like a loose ball joint or maybe something loose on the driver's side in the rear suspension. It happens when I am stopped and accelerate. It is not a consistent noise and happens more often after being driven for a bit. Sounds like a pop or clunk. I have had it on the lift and nothing seems loose. I have replaced all the shocks within the past 10,000 miles. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks.

I'd recommend looking at the rear spindle bushing item #8 or perhaps item #26. I had to replace mine after 160k it was making clunking noises.
