Question Creak Sound on 5mph

Hi,

I recently found that when I drive very slow like about 5 - 10 mph over any bump or rough pavement, I heard an annoying loud squeak sound, it sounds like my car will fallen apart soon.

If anyone can tell me what's happening, it would be great. I would like to find out what is the possible problem b4 I call the dealer.

oh, I foget to tell I have 2002 C230K Couple, and I had the 1st oil change already. It is about 11,500 mileages

Thanks

where is the sound coming from. If its coming from the front, then it sounds like you need to get your sway bar bushings replaced

Control Arm Bushings

I had the same issue and just had my lower control arm bushings replaced to remedy it. It was not the sway bar bushings in my case.
