w202 squeaking suspension

[white-zed]

hi all i've got a problem on the front of my w202 c180 auto the front suspension squeaks (it sounds like a dry/tight type of squeak) on both sides but is ok in the wet could it be front bushes or something? i have just replaced the front shocks and lower ball joints but the squeak is still there any ideas anyone?

Yes bushes, give em a squit of WD40 to see if that helps, if it does find a lube that doesnt dry out like WD40 does.

You will be.. the squeek will return
good news though, they're easy & cheap to do

ah not to bad then better look at euro car parts

best ask MB for a price also, you might be suprised at the price, Euro may sell gen stuff and also something else made by someone in china and possibly painted with lead paint, so on both counts it will kill you.
