W211 Squealing sound coming from front driver side

[M11GUL]

Hi all!

I have just noticed a strange sound coming from the front of the car. It is only noticeable at low speeds and seems to be there when going over speed bumps, low speed braking and the like.

Any ideas on what it could be? It's an 09 plate E320 Sport

Thanks in advance

Could be a mouse stuck in the wheel arch trying to let you know it's stuck ??

Turns out it's a lower ball joint. I really wish Mercedes had ironed these out after the version 1 w211. Looks like this wasn't one of the 5 million improvements between the old and face lifted model!!!

And they fail sometimes...

Well thankfully the car is now with Prospects Solihull, the issue will be sorted out in no time!

Quick update, car is booked in to Prospects Solihull for repair.

I really don't know how Mercedes can not accept any fault for such poor suspension parts? Car is only just 4 years old!
