Default s430 rear suspension

my 03 S430 rear suspension just started making a creaky bedspring type noise at low speed over minor road imperfections.Wondering if maybe a bushing?

usually on those its the front lower ball joints that creak. also sometimes when turning the wheel they can creak too. im not sure what noise would be coming from the back. but the fronts do creak.

Noise from the rear is most likely sway bar bushing or strut bushing,these are the same part required,about 40$ part,usually 1.5 hours.These parts went on my S430 quite common.The only problem was the same parts failed the next year on the passenger side.What an annoying sound.Get it fixed at a good MB garage not the dealer.Good luck ..
