Squeaky Front End

I have a 1985 380SE and the front end creeks when you go over small bumps at slow speed. I know this is a common problem and was told what it was at one time but forgot. Could someone help please?

Lower ball joints are common...as are sway bar bushes.

squecky front end

hello,

i have had the same issue.

what i did to eliminate the problem, was spray silicon on all the rubber on the side thats doing it. Try and get in between the joints.

works like a champ!

Ball joints are a common problem on the 126. Search the forum. There have been many FAILURES with noisy ball joints on this car. Nasty results. You do not what that to happen to you.
