2003 W209 CLK 240 - Squeaky rear suspension

[rich1068]

Over the last few weeks I've noticed the rear suspension on my CLK is getting a little vocal. A springy settling squeak on what sounds like both sides if I drive over an uneven surface at a lower speed. Doesn't do it during normal driving but drop down off eg a speed bump and it does it as the car settles. Any ideas before I visit somewhere with a lift?

Pretty sure there's nothing broken as it doesn't knock or bang. It sounds like the dried out front ARB bushes I once had on an LS400. That could be solved with a lube spray or at worse new bushes. But obviously this is on the rear. And not a Lexus

There's a pretty good chance your car has a rear anti roll bar fitted.

A quick Google suggests a list of possibles, ARB bushes being one and the easiest to diagnose with a quick spray of white grease.

Purchase 6 tins of silicon oil , and then spray all the rubber parts you can see under the rear end bushes etc , spray them .
