2002 c240 Rear Suspension Noise

Hi every one , i have a 2002 C240 ( NOT 4 MATIC ).
Recently i got noise in the rear, don't really know exactly which side but as long as my ear is still in a good shape it may be the rear passenger side.
This noise always comes when i hit bumps or bad roads ... it looks like the noise which you got for bad Sway bar bushings in the front, but a little bit harder and tougher .

I made a video from inside the car by my Dash cam... you can hear the noise clearly ( i was driving to a parking lot .. so the ground was higher than the street.

You might want to try to take a can of WD-40 and spray it around your rear spring, join n bushing area,

This happen to me once, after jacking one side of a car for changing tire,

I think there is part that rubbing each other when the car jacked, so lubricate it remove the noise. It also might be caused by some dirt that go between the part after i jetwash my bottom part of the car.

Noise never come back.

Thank you so much otosan for your reply, i don't know if it's good idea to use WD40 on springs ... i'm also not sure which part is causing the noise .
