LOUD SQUEEK from right rear.....
Hello everyone. I have a 2000 W208 with 185K mikes, it's lowered with H&R springs with Maya 19" Wheels. Lately I'm hearing a loud squeek come from the righr rear. My Buddy who is a Tech for MBZ checked it out and couldn't find the problem. He went as far as removing the shock and putting the car back down and bouncing the car up and down and the squeek is still there. Has anybody else had this problem?? Please let me know as this sound is driving me NUTS!!!

When my MBZ tech was checking it the car was at a standstill and we just bounced the car up and down and it was SQUEEKING. He thought it was the heat shield and he pushed it back with a long pry bar and it didn't go away. He went as far as taking the right rear brakes and hub apart to check thinking it was probably the emergency brake shoes rubbing, but that wasn't it. Spoke to him again yesterday, he tends to feel that it might be a dry bushing under the car. He's going to take another shot at it in the next few week. Thanks for your response.

Its possible that because the sound happens when bouncing that possible it is shocks or springs? shocks wear out.
