Loose Front bearings ?
MB 2010 E class coupe C207 24k miles
if i push front wheels with car on the ground i feel bearings are moving left right approximately 2-3 MM
I also feel slight shimmy on the steering wheel going 70+
is it normal for MB ? i never see such loose Front bearings on BMW even after 100k+ miles
why front bearings are suck on MB ??

I used to hear and feel a popping in the right front suspension when I went around turns quickly at low speed. It was at the combination of low speed and high turn loading that I noticed it.
I took it in but it hasn't made the noise recently and it didn't do it for the dealer. I'll keep checking for it and post up if I hear again. I have a 10 350 4m sedan with 37k.

I understand you push the wheels sideways and the whole wheel hub moves 2 - 3 mm.
If this really is the case take it in ASAP. Your bearing assembly has become loose or they are worn out.
The correctly installed bearing has a small looseness to it (bearing clearance) but nowhere close to 2 - 3 mm.
