mbtech, yes they said that they only replaced one side...but its possible for the other side to go bad in a matter of days? im just worried that they are going to blame my lowered susspension.

I had this problem for the longest time, and finally fixed it. good luck!
Hope you didn't pay the guy... and you if you did, I'm sorry for posting it to late.

picked up my ml today...noise is gone!!!...for now, hopefully it will stay that way. i told them what you suggested mbtech..heres what they decided to do...
clean and lube all mating surfaces
replace left rear mounting bracket
lube right side mounting bracket
what do you think...was what needed to be done..done? or should i expect to have to go back again...like the last time they supposedly fixed it? thanks
