2004 Mercedes SL500 Suspension and Steering Squeaking
Drives: 2004 MB SL500
My 2004 MB SL500 recently started squeaking really bad from the Front Right suspension. The reason I know that because even when parked in my garage with engine turned off, I pushed down each corner of my car and only the front right passenger was squeaking. Also when I turned the steering wheel, it made squeak. The Mercedes of Portland, OR quoted me $1400 to replace my ball joint mounted on the steering knuckle. I decided to take to another Mercedes experienced shop (not dealer) and they were able to replace the same OEM part for with labor for total $500. Now my car drives like a dream no more squeaking. I am a happy camper and saved over $900 back into my pocket. I attached some photos of the OEM part they replaced that took care of my suspension/steering squeaking.
Lower Control arm ball joint was the culprit of my suspension and steering squeaking noise.
