creaking

When making sharp left or right turns in my e280, there was a loud creaking noise. Having looked on this site, it seemed the problem was possibly a ball joint. The car was taken to the local garage and put on the ramps. The mechanic twisted the tire back and forth to try to locate the area of...

Hi I have ML320 W164 year 2008 before facelift. Noticed creaking noise on uneven surface or over speed bumps. This is only at the back - front is ok. Can hear also when parked when coming in and out of the car. During driving its OK in the cabin - to hear it I need to be at low speed...

Hi Guys, I've noticed a bit of a creak for a while now when I am on my driveway and going from lock to lock when just turning around, most cars make some amount of noise from lock to lock so I didn't think much of it, and it only does it on the drive when turning around (never when driving or...

I have taken my clk sport to a Mercedes specialist after I noticed a bad squeaking noise he couldn't identify the problem and ended up changing an arm and suspension spring that was snapped. The creaking noise is when I break hard or sometimes turn on full lock. Any ideas?

W211 has started creaking more than me - but only sometimes which is a bit odd :dk: Coming from the front offside. Can hear it sometimes whan driving but not all the time. When I stop after a run and push down on wing it creaks loudly - lounder on downstroke than upstroke if that makes sense...

Hello! Newbie here!! Im really hoping someone can help. I have developed a nasty creak/squeak noise coming front the front right wheel area. Sounds like plastic/rubber rubbing together. Its only when going under 5 mph and is only when I turn the wheel right. Its not only on full lock either...

hi I am just going to explain a rather annoying problem which has been on my car for a long time on and off, the problem being an annoying creak from front passenger side when brakes are applied also when steering is turned also there when going over speed bumps. the noise seems to disappear...

Ive got a c270 cdi on an 02, the rear suspension has started creaking when moved up and down, its both side ive had a look cant see any leaking shocks but its creaking like a grannies bed, really annoying, is it time to change the shocks?

hi all.... my w208 has just started to make a creaking noise:dk::dk: when you turn the wheels... any idea's??

Yesterday I noticed this noise as I break and turn left into corners, also sometime when breaking heavily in a straight line coming from the front passenger side suspension area. Took it to the nearest garage which was a National (not the best I know). The guy got it up on the ramp, there was no...

Hi All, had my C Class Coupe (2012) for a few months and have noticed that the dash creaks from within the heater area now and again. I also have the glass roof and that creaks on bumpy roads - trying the dry lubrication option from Halfords and nearly sorted it but not good for a £30k car...

recently bought a 300 SE and notice the interior of the doors / or perhaps the door bins making creaking noises at slow speeds, over bumps and on breaking/accelerating. is this just because its an old car/old plastic etc can anything be done to reduce the noise. i was thinking trying to...

I apologise in advance if I have missed this in previous threads. My car is sounding its age. I get a creaking sound from underneath( suspension??) when driving. I have tried spraying WD40 on the front springs but the damn noise won't go away. Its driving me crazy:wallbash:. Grateful for...

Hi I've got a W212 E 250 and the air vents above the radio creak now and again. The trim looks like it's all one peice and extends to the passenger side vents but I'm unsure how this is removed or if removal is the best thing. Any advice would be helpfull before I go to the dealers.

So my pantry door developed a creak in it's hinges. I administered silicon grease yesterday and today on the understanding this would rectify the problem. Sadly, It seems I was mistaken. The creaking is now louder and longer! :dk: Any ideas, people, short of taking the door off or...

The driver's side hinge is creaking horribly - can someone please point me to where I need to lubricate it and what is the best product to use. Apologies for the seemingly daft question but I am more than capable of producing a messy puddle of oil all over the boot area... Many thanks Sean

Can anyone help... My 2004 clk has a couple of problems...the cup holder is out and does not stay back in! It is very annoying, can this be a DIY fix? What do I need to do? Also, when braking at low speed I can hear a creaking noise sounds like coming from the brakes and not suspension...

Not sure if this is the correct forum for this question, but the roof on my SL creaks when I go over bumps or round corners (fast). I was thinking could it be the rubber seals moving against each other or the frame? If so, is there a product that I could safely apply to them to maybe reduce the...

When I bought my clk I could not believe the creaking when going over the bumps. I have now sprayed all roof (cabroilet) and door seals with silicone spray and it has made hell of a difference. Just thought I would pass this on. (hopefully in the right section). gh3382

Hope this might help somebody. Anyone who has creaking steering when turning the wheel may well have a drop link problem. At first I thought my drivers side suspension upper rubber parts were worn, however applying some lube the creaking was still there. My W209 CLK developed this fault...
