Mercendes E250 CGI coupe strange noise a the back of the car

Hi guys,

I have notice a disturbing noise coming from the back of my car. I cannot hear it all the time although when is happening is really disturbing. I think is coming from the rear right shock absorber and is like a squeak. I have checked the absorber and it is not faulty. Can you please help me??

Thanks you in advance,
Louis

Do you have stock exhaust system ?
I had similiar problem a while ago, when my car was under warranty. Local dealer had fixed it. It was coming from left side.
When car was wet ( from car wash or rains) there was not any sound.
When you notice the sound again, stop car, switch off the engine, open left door and close it with force (hardly), noise should appear again, if it does so, record it on your phone and show your dealer ( I did so ). because once i have arrived to dealer straight away when i noticed the sound again, and by the time I was there, sound dissappeared. So there should be an evidence of fault for engineer to spot the problem.

As I changed the exhaust system, it caused some squeaks when i ride because it was touching the bumper on road bumps, so dealer fixed it.
