*VIDEO* Creaking suspension in COLD weather
My C450 has developed a creak in the passenger side front suspension. Video here:
There are no clunks and the car isn't sitting funny or handling weird. This gets worse the colder it gets and goes away when it's warm. Anyone experience this or have any ideas?

Grab any lube spray, wd-40/jiggloo/pblaster, whatever is around the house, and stick your hand in the wheel well of each corner and try to lube the top hat and bottom of the each springs. Chance of the rubber support piece on bottom/top springs are worn out.
If the spray stops the creaking, just need to replace the rubber pieces.

I knew that was Toronto before I even saw the street signs. Cheers!

PS: I had the same noise on my Acura years ago and it was indeed the lower ball join and arm like someone said above.
