Rear control arm bushing at wheel carrier
Got a real squeaky rear lower control arm bushing at the wheel carrier.
I can't find any DIY for it OR a part number for the bushing.
Anybody know how to or the part number?

try spraying some silicone lubricant first to see if that takes away the noise, from there you go try rmeuropean or mymercedesparts or pelicanparts for the part #

Thanks...I got that same diagram on the S Atlanta Mercedes online sales site but no part number for that bushing.
Great, thanks.
Did the silicone lub trick but it only stayed quiet for a couple of miles...
....now, anybody know if this can be replaced in the car ? ...
