Knocking noise from the front end...
Hello,
I have 1994 E320.
I am getting a knocking noise (not loud) from the front at ~ 30-50 mph. The density of knocking is related to the speed and it's faster then wheel spin. I have new front brakes (rotors/pads), new struts; There is no play in the steering wheel and the rest of the suspensions looks good.
Another thing, I am not sure if it's related, - the speedometer arrow is jumping in tact with that knocking (I think).
What could it be?!
Thank you,
Val.

The knocking could be a worn front flex disc. It couples the transmission to the drive shaft. Replace it soon!
The speedo needle jumps at low speeds (around 0-30 MPH). This is typical for the older VDO mechanical speedos.

It has nothing to do with the engine - I tried to turn engine off while driving....
Thanks,
