I've noticed a gradual squeaking noise from the front right suspension of my 190D 2.5 - I think it's from the suspension, at least - over the last 6 weeks. It's been getting louder and more persistent. A bit like the noise of old bed springs. Eh-eh-ee-ee-eh-eh...but also quite muffled and discreet and really only the sort of thing an owner would notice who drove her regularly. But it's getting a little bit annoying.
The car has it's annual service next month but I'd like to isolate the problem before then, so I know what needs fixing. I've had new anti-roll bar bushes fitted and front ball joints a few months ago. The front wishbone bushes were diagnosed as cracked (but no play) also a few months ago. I know a weakness in the 190's design was weak, or badly designed, springs. But I couldn't say if this was the issue.
Any ideas here?
Many thanks
