Front left area squeeks
Hi all,
My 02 S55 is squeaking near the front shocks area and it's driving me crazy. The ABC has been replaced and so has pump, so those shouldn't be it.
My indep guy thinks bushings...do you guys have experience with this? It makes the sound when I push down on that area and also when I'm driving.
Thx all.
PL

Wow - thx, that was fast.
How much for parts, and how much labor time?
Appreciate it.

Yep, my 2001 S55 had the same issue, and it was the ball joint. Dealer price with labor and parts was $1600, but you can do that much cheaper at an independent.

Ouch - how much is parts vs labor?
It will help me gauge Indy shop price.

$1600 for balljoints? are you kidding me? lol

They are like 50$ but labor is long.

You can poke some WD-40 Through it and spray and there you go

Most of that $1600 was labor, parts was the smaller part as it usually is! I had the ball joint replaced, and control arm bushings too.

So at an Indy you'd be far better off.
