Airmatic Suspension Sounds like squeaking springs... Anybody?
Something in the front of my E55 is squeaking like an old hooptys springs. I'm thinking its either my suspension or steering.
Anybody ever had this problem and know a quick fix?
Thanks!

The Airmatic has no springs. Maybe it's coming from another part of the suspension? I would try to rule out which corner it comes from by driving each corner over a road condition that brings it out.

I moved across the street from the beach a couple of months ago and am now having the same problem. I figured the salt air is drying out/rotting the bushings or something similar. Mine is coming from the driver's side and 2 different techs have been unable to isolate the problem. Let me know if you have better luck solving the mystery.

My car was making this noise and a few weeks later my left front airmatic strut blew out and the car gave me a "car too low" message on the dash. The dealer fixed it under warranty but I wonder how much this is going to cost me out of warranty?

The sound is coming from the driver side also... I normally hear it when driving on uneven roads, bumps, or when I'm getting in and out of the car... It's driving me nuts..
Thanks for the help!
