Oh No. Another case of the deadly CL "Creeks". Use the search in W215 forum and you will find many threads about it. Thats what you hear when you get in and out of the car. Not sure about the other one when you turn left.

Maybe a ball joint / link? Any additional stress placed on the suspension? (ie: aftermarket rims?) Try pushing up and down on the side of the car you hear the noise coming from.. Sound like squeeking noise?

Here is the link.

Everyone agrees its ball joints. Push up and down on it up front. Hear it ?
Funny thing about mine. If I drive it every day. It will start doing it again.
But since I give it 3 days off when I drive my SL. It seems to never do it again. I think every CL owner has had this issue at one time or another.
