W211 Newbee question
My E320 CDI does something unusual when I back out of the driveway. I back out slowly but there is this thud as it goes off the driveway on to the street. Like I was in a Soprano's episode and there was a body bouncing around back there.
I checked the spare and the tool kits. All are secure. I velcro'd the trunk mat down so it would not slide so it can not be that either. I also looked at the battery and I can not see anything loose.
Any ideas? Could it be 20+ gallons of diesel sloshing around?
TIA

If it doesn't have the airmatic, then I have no idea.

Is your car equipped with the airmatic suspension? If so, read this:

Well they replaced the shocks yesterday and it did not remove the noise. What it did was make the noise more interesting or for lack of a better description, more defined. Now as I reverse, and slowly brake the noise seems to coincide with the braking but after a very small delay. Like the brake calipers are clamping down? Or could it be something in the drive line like a u-joint?
