This is the video that started me thinking about a bad CV joint causing my hard to find "whang, bang, clang" noise.

To our newbies, here is a link for DIY work on w123 and w126 cars. A lot of the links are bad, but a lot of the links are good. I save these links in a folder called MB DIY, and will post a few as I run across them. http://tinyurl.com/426v7mn
PS - Here is the water leak link from Mercedesource http://tinyurl.com/3u353jx
and here is some of their sales pitch
"That's right! It is the dreaded water leaks - into the trunk - into the back seat floor - into the front carpet area - and you know what it is like having your windows all fogged up and having water drip off the underside of the trunk when you open it up!! Customers come to me all the time wanting me to fix their water leaks. As most of these cars are 20 plus years old they suffer from the same fate. The customer is always telling me to replace the trunk seal, or the replace the door seals or to replace his sunroof seals. But you know what? I have to convince him that that is not where the water is coming from. In 80 percent of the leaks I troubleshoot the water is coming through the front and especially the rear window seals. The rubber gets old and shrinks away from the glass with age and water wicks around the glass edge and into the car. I have tried re-caulking the seals only to have it last for a short period. The only way to solve the problem is the replace the seals with new soft rubber ones. I always have a good glass shop install mine. If I come in with the seal they usually charge $60 - $75 each to install. Now what I am offering you here is a complete seal kit. Included in this price are: front windshield seal rear window seal trunk seal PLEASE NOTE: ONLY the trunk seal comes with installation instructions. These are great quality seals made by Meyle. They are quite heavy so shipping will be a bit. Take care of those water leaks now so you can enjoy your ride again."
