Sueaky noise when turning wheel or when going over bumpy road
So my car had been making these squeaky noises for a while. They come and go, especially when it rains they go away till its dry. Whenever i turn the steering wheel you can hear the squeaks aswell as going over bumpy roads. Sometimes they squeak really bad and loud, like if youre opening and closing and old door

I don't hear anything of note in the video... I don't think your capturing what your hearing. I've seen worn balljoints with compromised boots stop squeaking in the rain, only to squeak again later. I suspect the water enters the joint and provides some "lubrication". Best to lift the front-end, remove the wheels and check every ball joint and bushing in the front-end. Excessive play in ball joints, torn ball joint boots, separation or excessive cracking of bushings.

I just got my E43 back from the dealer for a wired squeak, it was where the strut tower brace connected to back of the firewall right below the windshield. It took 2 days to find, but its gone now.
Not sure if a non AMG car has a strut tower brace but thought Id mention it...

My 2017 E300 does a squeaky noise when stopped and turning left and move forward slowly. I thought it was the brakes but had them checked out and they were fine. Gremlins, I told myself as it doesn’t happen often.
