2004 E500 Front Suspension Squeak
I have a 2004 E500 with Airmatic suspension. The front passenger suspenison squeaks. You cant hear it with the windows up but when they are down you can hear it very well. Of course everyone you drive by can haer it as well. I tried spraying lubricant in all the suspsneion points but think it may be coming from the airmatic strut itself. Has anyone experienced this or are there actual lubrication points I may have missed? Any info would be great because this squeaking is driving me crazy!

As stated, it's most likely the very common ball joint/thrust arm issue. My passenger side started doing at 50K miles, and now my driver side is doing it at 104K miles.
With the car parked, if you just push down the fender, you'll hear it. Or, you can raise/lower the airmatic, and hear it too. Very common in these cars.
