Clk 500 clunking like a NY city cab
My 2003 Clk500 with only 29,000kms needs new suspension and/or stabilizer bar bushings. It's going in on Monday to the dealer for this under warranty. I know the roads aren't perfect here in Toronto, but there not like the Baja 1000 either. Doesn't that still seem a bit premature? I drove my w208 Clk320 to 55,000kms before trading it in on this one and never had this problem (and yes that one too was running staggered AMG 17"s). Anybody else going through this too?

When I booked the appointment, the service adviser said " ...well, that's what warranties are for". So i'm assuming everything will be gratis for this repair.

Well, the bad news is the dealer misdiagnosed the problem; it wasn't any suspension bushings. But the good news, is that it was only the RF fender liner that was loose and banging on the some of the suspension components. At least it gave me a chance to get them to bolt on the winter wheels/tires.
