creaking

Firstly my apologies if this is in the wrong section. I couldnt find anything in technical where this would fit. :o I have recently bought a '06 B class Turbo with 28,000 miles on the clock. It is a wonderful car to drive except there is an annoying creaking coming from the rear when the cars...

Hello, I have a 2003 CLK 320 w209 and it has really embarrassing creaking noises. It only happens badly if the front end goes almost straight up and down such as over very harsh speed humps. It can be heard inside the cabin and outside, with the windows down. I can replicate it by...

Hi I have a clk320 2003 which has a creaking / thud noise that i cannot pinpoint. If i pull away from a standstill i hear a quick knock / creak noise. as if the engine is moving into position. than when I brake the same noise happens againg as if it is going back into place. It sounds to me...

My drivers seat squeaks and creaks when going over bumps. I have read on a forum from over the pond, its is caused by some springs from under the base drying out. And some PTFE spray etc will stop it. Can anyone clarify this? Is it a seat out jobby, as I cant see any springs from the...

I've an '05 cl500 with about 50k miles on it and the front driver strut has started to creak a lot on any sort of bump. It also does it if I use the dash button to raise or lower the car. I think I've isolated it to the strut rather than any of the other suspension joints but I haven't...

Heard a creaking noise on my 1995 C180 W202 last week and took it into a high street chain garage to see it there was any problem with the exhaust - on putting it on the ramp it became apparent that one of the exhaust fixings had broken (see attached picture taken under the vehicle facing...

Car ia a year 2000 W220 S500 I'm getting the common creaking sound comming from the front offside of the car. This happens when I press down on the front wing over the drivers side front wheel and can be heard when driving and turning the steering wheel when stationary. The strange thing is...

Hi all,i have just had this problem solved by my local indie . The rear suspension coil springs were bearing directly on to the rear sub-frame(metal to metal) hence the creaking. merc provided aluminium shims at a cost of £3 each and once fitted,have solved the problem,why was this not a recall...

Hi, I get a loud creaking noise from around the spare wheel location when I have a ½ or more in the fuel tank, has any one else had this? S210 Estate J

OK, so, not content with being the size of a boat, my E430 estate has developed a worrying creaking from the front end (left / n/s, I think) and sounds like a tall ship in a high wind. It seems to happen only at low speed - or it could be that I just can't hear it above other noises (wind...

Had the springs replaced a couple of months ago... And now th car sounds like a rusty hinge when moving, so does anyone care to point me inn the right direction with the WD40??

So I've been living with a creaking problem on the CLK for almost a year. I've been told it could be bushes, broken coil springs, roof mechanism, electric window motor, seat belt anchors, rear wall or the underneath brace bars / struts. Well it turns out that one of those was the culprit...

I'm getting a creaking noise from the front suspension when going over speed bumps on my newly acquired 300se . It sounds like it is up top somewhere and is worse on the right hand side. It actually got worse after I washed under the arches with the hosepipe while washing the car today. I'm...

Before I burn my car and throw it in the dock, can I run something by the forum please?? See this picture.... The black metal panel bolted down, which protects the roof motor & hydrolics etc. This is the source of my creaking! When I completely loosen the bolts, the creaking stops. So...

Right chaps before I take the wheel off etc any ideas what could be happening here E320 W211, Drivers side rear suspension, when opening the door, self leveling sospension starts , and creaks badly. Driving through a multi story with my window down suspension was also creaking badly. Bounce the...

The CLK is booked in on Thursday to hopefully resolve my creaky rear suspension. It creaks the most when reversing off my drive. What do you think it could be, bushes, coils, dampers??? Also my steering at low speeds moans like an old women! The noise reduces somewhat after everything as...

Hi I have a C 180 Elegance 2002. The indicator assembly works fine but is stiff and creaks when moved up or down. Does anyone have any ideas why? Many thanks Tony

Hi Guys I 've got a 2001 W203 C320, and it makes a creaking noise from middle/front when I pull away sharply and the front suspension lifts or I drive over speed bumps. Its only been creaking since the hotter weather started, I have also noticed that it never does it in mornings when...

Recently I've noticed a creaking sound from the front offside brake. The noise occurs when stopping and when stationary. If I stop the car and apply/release the brakes it still happens. I had a mate sit in and depress - release the brake and it's definitely coming from the caliper area. The...
