Hi again, I thought I`d put another question to you all. My w209 clk 320 is a beautiful drive on a nice even road, but come up to a speed hump and I have to crawl over as she feels so stiff. I do run on 19" AMG`s with 35 profile so I get that doesn`t help. But as I said, going over a speed hump you get the sound of dryness somewhere, more at the front than the rear. Is there anything I could lubricate to at least take this away?

thse issues can be hard to pinpoint. best chance is a ramp any a few guys to heave it up and down till you locate it. otherwise keep spraying around with wd40 until hopefully you identify the area

Squeaks are often the sign a balljoint is imminently going to fail. Check them over carefully.
