No more front end pop

Like many of you, my 2016 had an occasional annoying loud front end pop when making a slow tight turn into my driveway. No more as it was repaired today.
1 190-620-8801 strut
1 190-620-8701 strut
3015 installed spo upper engine compartment diagonal strut on the left and right sides. Remove bolts and clean threads of the lower diagonal struts, applt blue thread lock adhesive and re-install per LI62.30-P-061211.

All is well and very quiet

Thanks for the info – can you describe all the numerical codes, for those of us not familiar? I'm assuming it's some sort of technical service bulletin reference number?

Now that makes sense!!

You have the honor of owning one of the early manufactured cars.

Many here went through the popping noises until AMG developed the fixes.

Enjoy your car.
