E200 2001 Creaking suspension

[MFK]

When stopped with foot on brake pedal but in D (Drive) i get a lot of creaking from suspension area. What product do you recommend to cure this and what areas should I grease or spray? Is it best to grease springs or spray with some silicon type product.

Any advice is appreciated?

Thanks

rear or front?
There is nothing to grease anyway! Everything is sealed these days!

It all appears to be coming from the front and I think it is just the slight momentum forward from the auto gearbox which I am restricting by applying the footbrake. If you press brake hard it doesnt happen it is just when you are slightly applying pedal and then it creaks. I think it is just bushes. You never hear it whilst driving or normal braking. It is just when you are stopped sitting at traffic lights and most noticeable on a down slope.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Brake pads ever so slightly slipping under gentle pedal pressure. I can make most cars do it (autos).
Pull on handbrake if you dont like holding pedal harder.

Agree with bazzle. It's the brakes juddering.
