Is this applicable to cars built after 2011 as well? My 2011 w221 is making noise similar to what is described in this thread but if the TSB date is 2009, won't MB correct this problem in 2011 year cars?
A PDF of TSB is available here:

I started experiencing a cracking noise while going over speed bumps about 3 weeks ago. It happens most prevalently when I go at a speed bump straight ahead and doesn't happen if I do it very slowly but does at reasonable speeds. It makes the noise on the rebound and not on the compression. If I take the bump from the left or right its much reduced or not there. I sometimes hear if it I go over a big dip on a road. The frequency of the noise is decreased when the car is raised. There is no notable effect on the ride or handling of the car. The sound is definitely coming from the front suspension and not the rear. Also it increases in frequency when there are more people in the car.
I don't really want to bother taking it in right now (since my dealer is so far) if it's not serious like when I took it in for sway bar bushings that were causing a creaking.
Anybody experienced anything like this? Car is an 07 S550.

My S550 just started having the creaking/squeaky noise on the passenger front suspension. First thing I did was grease up all the ball joints with white lithium grease which didn't have any affect on the noise. So I sprayed the grease where the sway bar mount meets the sub frame and voila the noise has disappeared just like everyone has said.
I don't want to take it into the dealership but do have a independent shop here that I've taken my car to before. So instead of the temp fix I'd like to get the epoxy/glue done but was curious on what a ball park cost would be or could it be DIY? If so what are the steps to do this.
Thanks in advance.

I tried this gluing thing and all the noises went away but came back after a week...did we not do the glue procedure correctly or is this just a reference to making sure that the bushings are the problem here.
I'm deciding to replace all the sway bar bushings...

What's the difficulty level of removing and gluing the bar?
