Suspension creaking
Need help on pinpointing my creaking front suspension noise.
I changed the front shocks recently.
Sounds like drivers side control arm/bushing, or something in that area. MyS320 has 162k miles on the od. Any tips would be great.

Golly napaAl! Lucky day for you also! Mine had the same problem last week...changed the front shocks, lower and upper control arm, and sway bar bushings. No more noise! Now the rear is squeaking! I was told the upper bushings on the struts....we'll see.

I saturated the bushings for 2 days using "Corrision X" the red can. Used a thin blade screwdrive to make an opening between the bar and bushing and sprayed the heck out of it. They slid right off...used marine/boat grease and installed them.
