C320 Squeaky Suspension

Hi all, I'm new to these forums and did try to search, but did not find the answer. I have an 01 C320 with 36k miles and it just started to make this squeaky noise from the front suspension. I can replicate the problem by pressing on the car and getting it to bounce a little, same noise, annoyingly squeaky.

Has anyone had this experience? It's rather frustrating (and embarrasing), your help would be MUCH appreciated!

A Tech Bulletin states that if you weigh over 350 pounds, your suspension may squeak when in the car.
