Clunk sound from rear when accelerating from stop

Hi

I am new to the forum. I wish to check if anyone experience a single clunk sound from the rear when accelerating from stop. The sound is not there when the car cruises.

It is obvious when the car travels about 2-3 minutes after being left in the garage overnight.

Appreciate any advice on resolving this sound issue.

Thanks.

First step check brake calipers may not be releasing properly.

The brake caliper was checked and it was fine. I read somewhere that this could be due to the 9G tronic gearbox.

I've occasionally had this. I'm 2 years, 19 k miles into ownership. I'm not too worried.

Seems this is something to do with 9G gearbox. My C-class and others have the same issue: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...elerate-2.html
