A- Make sure the front wheel bearing preload is set… looseness in the wheel bearings will allow the wheel to wobble down the road. Check for worn steering links (especially Idler Arm) for excessive movement. Also, have your local dealership rebalance the tires using the special hub adapter tool (MB991791-01) that hopefully they’ll actually have on their tool board. (Ask first- if they don’t have it….move on). As far as clunks, aside from the above, have the ball joints inspected and swaybar links (very likely).
