hello , help with my problem please
hello all.
my name is sam , i am new to the forum, i am an owner of a 2010 e350, unfortunatly i am having a problem with my car, i attached a vid maybe someone can identify the cause , note that it happen when making a turn at low speeds, the vid was taken when the car was stationary in a hill leaving my parking spot!
i am under the impression it is a bad ball joint ( not sure upper or lower) having took it to a mechanic yet!
thanks
sam

So you hear this when you turn the wheel, right?


Probably is a dry load carrying ball joint in front. That should be the lower joint on either side.

I had the same thing on my E550 with 95km on it. Ended up the brake pads and rotors were so warn that they were rubbing. Have the brakes checked before anything else.
