W211 squeaky steering

[dursleyman]

We are starting to get a loud squeak from the front left wheel area when the steering is turned, very noticeable when parking. Should we be worried?

Could be tyre pressures , worn tyres ? Check the power steering fluid level ?

Not that kind of squeak, sounds more like a dry joint in the suspension.

Usually bottom ball joint on Suspension arm on W211 not expensive for the part £10-£15 dependent on make of joint
can be DIY if a bit use full with Tools

As above. Do it sooner rather than later as they often fail shortly afterwards.

Thanks guys, it also just started moaning about "Service C 25 days" so it looks like a visit to out local specialist.
