2007 gl450 front right rattling or clunking while driving?
So my 2007 gl450 was fine but suddenly developed a rattling or clunking in the front right corner when going over rough road surfaces. It sounds like the shock is loose. Funny thing is when it's lifted with the interior switch it is virtually gone. once you get up to speed the car lowers and the rattling is back. I changed the air suspension distribution block and the right sway bar link. Still there. What is it?

Thanks, mark

did you use a mb sway bar link? I had this too changing to mb part fixed it. You might also want to check the bushing on the sway bar.

+1 on the diagnoses. With that said, OP, you posted in the wrong forum. You have a 164 GL.
