Since a couple of months I have been experiencing a problem with my 2004 Stilo MW 1.6.
The cars sometimes makes a cracking sound when accelerating from a standstill (only for the first second or so of acceleration, though). It also appears if I drive really slow and pulsate the brake power, almost stopping the car several times in a "jerking" motion. To me, it sounds like the source of this sound is somewhere close to the left hand front wheel (drivers side on my car).
The front spring coils were recently replaced, although I doubt that would be the cause of the problem. Could it be connected in some way to the shock absorber on the left hand side? My guess is that it could have something to do with the extension and compression of the shock absorber.
Any ideas?
