Angry 1980 450SL Squeeky Front End

Help!

I just got my car back from the Mercedes dealer where they put in the front subframe modification.
My 450 SL front end now sounds like a rusty 50's pick-up truck.
It also feels light on the road. (I think that I will bring it in for a wheel alignment and tire rotation this week).
What can I do to lubricate the front end and get rid of this noise? Has anyone here ever had this problem before?

Thanks

Check out the front stabilzer links that connect the lower control arm to the stabilizer bar. If they were overtightened or to loose during service that can cause some creaking noise. As far lube, I don't know of anything that be can grease as all the joint's are sealed for life. Anyone else have suggestions on this, as I also have a "creak", most of the front end has been repalced already.
