99 E240 anoying cabin road noises
I hope some one may have some suggestions to correct this problem ?
Only had the veh for a couple of months, had low Kms, two owners,( it appeared to be in excellent condition)
I Have been chasing several problems and annoying noises. Have replaced sway bar links, both lower front wishbone rubbers and ball joints replaced.
Replaced and balanced tyres twice, checked all the wheels, even tried other wheels ( now have Michelin on the front and Pirelli rear),the 4 wheels alignment, lowered tyre pressure to 32psi, replaced tail shaft centre bearing and checked drive line rubber (doughnut) joints.The shock absorbers are the original black Bilstein.
But still have some minor annoying low level ear thumping sensation (noise) at low speed, particularly between 55K and 80K it sounds like road ( particularly on older roads) also some type of drive line noise near 70 to 80 K (My other Merc's do not have this sensation)
At a 100K plus the veh. is quite pleasant (the noises are masked by the normal low level road and wind noise) below 50K I can hear any uneven road noise ??
