Hi, I have a 2000 S500 with 47k miles and I just started noticing a clunking noise coming from the right front wheel. I hear the noise when I first hit the bump on my driveway or when I encounter a bump on the road. Please help, its getting louder and louder!

Sounds like ball joints on the lower A arm.

Sorry, no solution. Without radio I hear faintly the front right suspension squeeking over slow-speed bumps or when de-accelerating in 1st gear (!?). It sounds as if a spring needs oiling. It is not loud and not yet worrying. Should I apply grease somewhere?

Note that I have ABC on the car, which works fine.

biigii is correct, mine made a creaking noise when i got out of the car. If this is not your problem i would be very surprised.
