Good info. I did mine on my e500 about three years ago. I did both flex joints at same time to save future labor time.

Currently after I just repaired everything, I am experiencing squeaking when I go over a bump or a dip. Not sure if it is from the crappy ksport suspension that's on the car, or if it is a sway bar mount etc.

you could always remove your sway bar links then go drive it to rule the sway bar out of the picture.

At this particular time, I'm looking or should I say focusing my attention on the wheel bearing adjustment.

Common squeak when going over a bump or turning in parking lot is from lower ball joint. Trace it down with a mechanics stethoscope while someone turns wheel and while someone bounces the car.
