New C320 Problem

I have a 2001 C320 with approximately 22k miles. Today, I noticed that the rear of my car squeaks when I go over a speed bump or through a dip. Could it be my bushings that are worn already? Does anybody have any ideas until I can get it into the dealer?

Try this. With the car parked push up and down the the rear If you can hear the squeak, stop and put on the emergency brake. If the sound goes away it's simple adjustment of the emergancy brake cable at the rear.

I tried your suggestion renncpe, but there was no remedy. I dropped off the car yesterday and told my service advisor about the problem and that I was having hard shifts. They will now be putting a new transmission in my car. Geez... I wish my car was under a year old so I could try to persue Lemon laws.
