[W126 Coupe] Ticking in Reverse

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Ed,

Really no way of knowing with everything being a guess here.  I'd go 
ahead and have an inspection done on the front end.  Checking first for 
the tire with a stone lodged in the tread, brakes and bearing play as 
these are all tied to the wheel's rotation.  Then move on to inspection 
of the brake support rod bearing, both ball joints, sway bar bushings, 
tie rods, and idler arm bushings.   If front end is tight, move on to 
the front flex disk on the drive shaft.

Should be fairly easy to figure out once on a lift.

Good luck,
Dick
