Mercedes Benz repair: MB 300 SL 1990 100K - good condition, mercedes benz 300sl, sway bar link

Question
Hello Mr. Expert.

MB 1990  300 SL  - 100 K miles good condition

I have a right (rear?) rattling metallic NOISE when driving over some bad road.  The car is in good condition has 100K miles. Went to shop - lifted the car - nothing loose under knees. Any idea?  ( I believe it's the Axle) How can I test it?

Best
Ben


Answer
A bad sway bar link is very common on your model.
At 100K all rubber suspension mounts/bushings are very near end of service life.
