C320 problems
 

I just got my 02 C320 from a first owner and just recently i noticed my shocks are really sqeeky.the light on my computer says my brake lining is wear and they dont look like it and my front right turning signal is out and i changed the bulb and it still dont work..is this usual for a C320 with 60,000 miles?

has anyone else had these problems before?

MB came out with a new socket to fix the turn signal problem. it is caused by poor contact between the bulb socket and the headlamp. it is very common problem on the c-class. as for the suspension noise, it might not be the shocks but is still possible.

I have had 3 C - 97, 02, 04. All 3have had noise as you describe, I would take it to a car wash and have a chasis /undercarriage wash, and ususally the noise would stop for a few weeks, it seems dirt and dust gets in the suspension components and makes that noise. I was told that spraying light lubricant outside the springs/shocks would also remove the noise, but I did not try it.
