Evening All,
I have been having a creaking noise from the front of my S Class for a while now and eventually got round to looking at it tonight. It appears it is the lower ball joint which is the culprit (have saw this is a common problem).
I cant seem to find a DIY for it - does anyone know if there is one available? It looks simple enough only confusing bit being I am not sure on the interface between the strut and the arm itself?!
Also, is it worth only replacing the 1 that is knackered or both? To use Febi parts or genuine Mercedes ones?
I also noticed one of the other suspension arms (next one up from the lowest) the bush has come away from the arm so that needs replaced too. Thankfully it looks easy enough to do.
Thanks in advance,
Andy
