my sl320, 99, has only 45k miles, the rear suspension begins to creaks over rough surfaces at slow speeds, after 1/2 hr. driving, this develops into a slight tapping noise at higher speeds. Noise disappears during the wet. Any advice on where my problem is ? thanks

Hello and welcome, most probably coming from the anti roll bushes, spray them with PTFE

Agree with Malc. Only I bet the noise is actually the front!
