Squeking noise?

I just notice today while i was changing my grille so i close the hood and i heard that noise, So i deside to go to the middle of the car and make the car bounce up and down and all of the sudden the squeking noise came back, my question is will it be the springs or suspension problem. I took the car for a sping around the block sinse i dont drive it that much and could heard it while driving only for few minuts then the noise stop but it gets loud sometimes any1 will know what that might be? i will be going to the stealership tomorrow to see wtf is going on? any advise will be really appreciated.

I had a little trouble following what you said, but squeaky noises could come from a blown or bad shock or since you have the 430, the side skirts tend to squeak when going over speed bumps slow etc. Or you have a mouse in your car.

CLK/ML
Maybe your spell checker got lodged in the wheel well when you threw it out the window.
Seriously though, maybe they didn't seat the springs correctly when they lowered it.


edit:
Oops, I see you didn't lower yet. Well then I'm stumped. My ML was squeaking and they lubed everything, now no more squeak.

Ok I feel it for have not written well but I do it only when I am desperate
BTW/ the noise is not coming from the skirts, sound like is coming from the driver side.(front wheel maybe)

Does the car squeak when the hood is open?

Probably bad bushings. Just had one replaced after hearing a squeak similar to yours.
