Can anyone elaborate this....

RE: squeaking sound from the suspension.

"I went to my dealership, and went in to the mechanics. They directly found a issue that's been reported on squeaking sounds from the front suspension. And a special lubricant oil is used. They didn't have time to do it there, so they borrowed me the oil and I lubricated it my self. It is the "rubber stop" or what ever it's called. That prevents the damper to fully compress. So I lubricated it as they told me. And for 2 days it's been good."

I have exactly the same problem now. Can anyone explain what exactly oil/lubricant i can use.. is that how you call it RUBBER stop? thanks guys

Is the squeaking sound pretty bad? I was planning on lowering my C400 within the next month or so with H&R springs. And if you do find out which lubricant is used can you please let me know.

There are rubber bushing at the top and bottom of the springs. I used belt dressing with the nozzle and sprayed them. That fixed mine and haven't had the problem since.

When I did my spring install I just put some grease on the rubber contacts area where springs touch. No problems with noises for myself. (For reference:Have H&R springs c300 on 20")

I only did that precationarily because I've heard of people having squeak issues. A little grease won't hurt and takes 2 seconds while doing the install.

hey bro how are you.. i was thinking of spraying with fan belt dressing as per Rixc300.. the squeaking sound is not too loud and i only hear when running slow passing humps/bumps or sloping road then i hear the squeaking sound when the car bounce. right front side only.

its not so bad. only when the car bounce on a very slow speed on humps/bumps. if you start turning your music on theres no way you can hear it even the dealership can't tell if theres squeaking sound or not.. but i drive it everyday so i know hehe..
