Check Play in Front Wheels

Model: Mercedes Classe M W163 - Years 1997-2005
Part: Tires

If you hear noises from the front end while driving over uneven surfaces, it is likely that the drop links, track rod ends, or some bushes have been damaged. One way to check for faults is to lift the vehicle with a jack or suitable axle stands, grasp the wheel, and shake it to check for any play. If play is detected, proceed to remove the wheel and inspect the suspension components: in this case, the track rod end has been found to be broken; the replacement is very straightforward.
