CL Creeks
First and formost.
Lets get those caps OFF on the keyboard.
All CL`s are prone to a case of the "Creeks".
Mine still does it when its very dry. Late summer.
And my car is 61K Miles and over 7 years old.
But since its stored inside and only driven a few times a week.
It has stopped. Dealer tells me it ball joint/bushings.
Very Common. Its a bit pesky. Just get it fixed and dont make a federal case over it. You will get further being nice than trying to sue MBZ over a
rubber bushing thats worn.
Mine only does it when getting in the car or over a slow speed bump.
But since its driven so much less. Its disappeared for about a year now.
Sounds like you need to find a dealer that has a brain and some experience
with CL`s.
Maybe its just cause you are in New Jersey. Pollution related ?
Rots the rubber bushings from too much Ozone.........
Just Kidding.
Lighten up and get it fixed. Not that big of a deal.
Wait till your ABC pump craps out. Thats a big deal !!!!

Thats why I have an extended warranty I am not worried about my ABC pump. They need to worry about me I am going to have them replace my whole suspension by the time I am done. I feel bad for the people who paid 130,000 for this car...........

Well I dropped my car off at a different dealership for the creeking after having the ball joints and the front thrust arms replaced at one dealership which didnt help...Now they diagnosed it as something around the super charger is causing it to creek I am not sure what it is but I will keep you guys posted if it actually resolves the problem.
