I have taken my E to two mechanics and so far w/o luck we can't seem to figure out what is making this random popping noise when I drive.
The best way to describe it is to say it sounds like a golf ball is hitting the underside of my E. Sometimes, when the pop is loud enough I can feel the vibration in the gas peddle. Also & this may or may not be related... There have been several (although quite intermittent) times when I have heard this noise, similar to the noise your car makes when you accidentally coasts over the rumble strip on the highway only not as loud. Often times taking my foot off the gas causes it to go away & it doesn't duplicate for days.
In the past 3 months I have had my rear differential fluid changed, sway bar links replaced as well as sway bar bushings. These solved other problems but not the popping noise.
One thing that I do notice is that with all this rain & moisture, it hasn't been as frequent or as loud so it leads me to believe it is a lubrication issue but we can't find it & as any good noise does... When i take it to the mechanics for a test drive It doesn't want to cooperate & make the sound.
Any ideas...
