Hello I have a 2018 c300 cabriolet, It’s having a loud squeaking noise over bumps or even if I just turn the wheel right or left I recently jacked it up to spray AT-205 RE-SEAL ATP an It didn’t work it sounds like it’s coming from the lower part I also took some photos while I was down there

If anyone can help me with ideas Itd kuch appreciate I am new

It’s usually the pointing down balljoint at the bottom of the hub. It’s part of the caster arm which is the one the spring strut is attached to. Meyle did a youtube video about it and why it squeaks.

Thanks uncle Benz I appreciate It I’m thinking the same, so the lower control arm right? You think you can lead me in the right direction for parts? Are there any after market ones that will maybe last longer? Or would I have to switch out both?

I’d be inclined to try the Meyle HD ones myself, as they have a good name. To this point I’ve only fitted genuine Mercedes replacements

How hard is the job you think? Any high end tools you need for this control arm replacement?
