San Diego rear end suspension noise

I am looking to see if anyone in SD (211 or 219 chassis with airmatic) that has resolved their front / rear end suspension noises is available to take me on a short ride over a couple speed bumps / angled driveways.

I'm experiencing a lot of noises that I believe to not be normal (especially with MB branding....hell, my 1970 bug makes less suspension noise). I'd like to get a baseline to compare to. I've got the dealer beginning to make me think it's "normal".

shoot me a PM

Thanks gents / ladies.

Did you ever get this resolved? My 06 E55 makes all kinds of weird suspension noises, and I too had a "specialist" tell me its normal.
If you want to meet up to compare noises and theories let me know.

any clucking would not be a normal sound. the whoosh plastic bag sound is normal. any thud thunk noises would be a concern, but not urgent.

Blown rear shocks (not air bags) will cause the thud noise when going over bumps.
