squeeky clunk noise?

My 00 e430 sport is making some noise SQUEEK CLUNK only hear this when im parked and turning the wheel left to right all the way while stepping on brake. i know my shocks are gone im just waiting for order from autohaus to come in to change it but i dont think the shocks are making that noise...anyone else have this issue? or know whats the problem? the car drives handles great no vibration at 65+ no no sound while driving just kind of bouncy since the rear shocks are dead.

Just have it inspected at a good indie shop

could be other things now that you are braced
might be ball joints so get it inspected and then worry cost.
Keep us posted.

I also have a squeeky sound on the passenger rear side. If you press on the trunk on the passenger side it squeeks also when I drive out of my driveway.
I went to an Independant and they couldn't find the problem. I am going back ob tuesday and they plan on changing the rear suspension bushings they it is a job of 3-5 hours. I just hope to solve the problem because right now that sound makes the car look like an old car that is not well maintained...

You may need to check power steering fluid level and top it if it's not full.

Took the car in today to the Stealers over at Anaheim Hills Benz in CA, they inspected the car today and found that the rack is fine it was indeed the bushings so they recommend changing all the bushings(in all four corners) and quoted me around 600+ bucks & a loaner for a day? is this something i can DIY? instead of spending all that cash. i was planning to change my brakes and shocks so if someone has a STEP by STEP on how to change bushing that would be great. if not i will just have to donate the labor cost to the dealer.
