Creaking W203

[Yez]

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.

Grateful for anyyyy suggestions.


Thanks

Anti rollbar bushes?

Be more specific. Front or rear?

Mine was shock absorbers

Lower ball joints?

Sorry, both front and rear.

My W203 has been creaking from the rear since it was two years old, i.e. for about four years now.

It creaks when I maneuver out of parking space, and it creaks as I come off speed bumps.

Olly had a look at the underside but could not find anything wrong.

So I live with it...

spray some halfords rubber lubricant between the anti roll bar and its rubber bushes.
