S 320 CDI HYDROPNEUMATIC creaking

[mouldb]

Hi all,

The front Strut leg on my S class W220 is creaking & squeeking like a first world war tank!!!! If you hold the lower leg you can feel the creaking going on inside as you move it up and down with a lever.

How on earth do I lubricate it????

bushes are a common problem on these heavy beasts, unfortunately lubrication may not alleviate the problem.
As far as i know replacement is a 3 hour job - see thae latest mercedes enthusiast magazine - Has an artice buying used mercs for 25K, the w220 is one of them.

Hi,
Got it & Read it!! There must be a way, without replacing the whole strut.

Thanks for your reply.
