Squeaking Suspension noice after driving for some while
Hi All
After driving for some while my suspension starts to squeak when I drive over bumps. I was told that cleaning the suspension and spraying it with oil with solve this. So I took it to the car wash they lifted the car washed it from beneath and sprayed with some oily substance and it was fine for roughly 10 days, after that it went back to how it was "getting noisy". Well I dont think washing it every 10 days from beneath is the solution. I rather think the oily solution they used sucks.
Any ideas ?

Front arm bushings or other front suspension bushing have lost their factory lubrication would be my guess. Happened to me on my C230. The giveaway in my case was black fluid leaking from them onto the driveway. I tried a temporary fix for the noise which was spraying them with a lot of spray silicone in a can, but eventually I had them replaced to solve the squeaking. Or, you can try earplugs. Just kidding>just kidding.

Hey..replacing the suspensions that is ? Right ? It would be a shame..since the suspensions are rather fine..apart from that sound...just one other question..was this accompanied by a stiffer steering wheel ?

Hi
Are the bushings the two identical parts to the left and right in this picture ?
