1972 w115 220d creaking/groaning front end
good morning everyone, my w115 220d has recently developed a creak/groan which sounds to be coming from the front drivers side wheel. i can make the noise happen on demand by applying pressure to the front fender. at first i only got the noise when i hit small bumps and sounded like a squeaky mattress. now i get the same noise when i turn the steering wheel also. the steering wheel noise started this morning and the temp is currently -13deg f I'm not sure if the cold weather could be making it sound worse. this car is twice my age and i have never diagnosed front end noise on a car this old. if someone can point me in the right direction i would greatly appreciate it as it is just too cold to be out troubleshooting without any leads.
thanks in advance,
thanks in advance,
Could be upper, lower or both. Time to rebuild/renew. Similar on my W123. New upper control arm corrected the issue in my case. Had done in a shop. Cost of a complete new upper was cheaper than remove, rebuild and reinstall. About $250 for renewal of both sides.
Lower a little more with new ball joints.
