You answered while I was typing my other reply.
Those are the sway bar links. Happy news. They are by far the least expensive fix, assuming that is what you are hearing. And an easy DIY.
Yes, that is the sway bar running from one side of the car to the other.
When buying replacements, buy Lemforder if possible, second choice TRW, Febi third. (Or of course, OE Mercedes if you are inclined to spend a few more $$$.)
Avoid MTC, Meyle, Trucktec and URO or APA branded items (which may turn up first in your parts searches).
Note: in parts listings it will probably say "stabilizer bar link."
