03 S500 front shocks squeek

ok, this S500 I just bought has ABC as well. pushing the fenders down you hear a 'dry squeek' sound. while driving, car also makes this noise as it goes over the road which is not perfectly smooth.

is there actually something I can oil or I'm SOL with something more internal with ABC or airmatic? car is not droppinmg when parked so the shocks are fine.

thanks for your comments
03 S500 sport with every imaginable option

I doubt its the shocks.. more than likely you need some new front lower ball joints.. have someone take a look at them or if you know what they are, grab a flashlight and have a look..

awesome, I forgot all about the control arms and ball joints..... all I could think oif was the airmatic or in my case the ABC so forgot about other things. I'll have them take a look at it and hopefully a handfull of grease could do it, or worse those other parts are much much cheaper than shocks
