E550 creaking when steering
2007 E550. When I turn the steering wheel when stopped, I hear a creaking sound from the steering assembly or suspension. Thoughts?

In addition, up to VIN B100720 there is a design modification to steering retaining plate (500 in diagram) allowing for greater clearance to resolve cracking/creaking noises heard when vehicle is stationary – part # 2116280511 MSRP about $28.50 if under warranty reference bulletin LI46.40-P-047549.

Didn't work for me
I replaced the plate with the updated, creaks less times but still creaks 2-3 times when turning lock to lock... drives me crazy

The part # only includes the plate.
Not sure if it is the bolts, I've been meaning to get under the car and have someone rotate the steering wheel to identify where exactly the noise is generated.
Post back if you find out!
