Front suspension squeaks?
I have a 2002 C32 with 56,000 miles. Just recently developed a squeak in the front left suspension when going over any small bumps especially when cool (like 50 degrees or less). It is not the seat it is outside. Any ideas ??? Other than this it still drives very well and is still tight when pushed hard. I have the extended warranty but I am unsure what would be covered and not covered. FYI It has been a good car only broke down once in 4 years. An alternator failed, flatbeded car and a loaner car given. Thanks

Please note that the fix requested should be both the sway bar endlinks and the sway bar bushings. The sway bar itself should be fine. I know some people have had sway bar endlinks fail although I doubt they are the source of the noise.
My dealer took care of this problem for me and replaced both parts.
