A couple weeks ago I started to hear a creaking noise coming from my right front wheel while driving in my 190E. It only did it on occassion, but the more I drive the worse it gets. Now it's constantly creaking while I'm driving. I hear the noise even when getting in and out of the car from the slight movement of the suspension. Does anyone know what this could be? Possibly the strut? There aren't any grease fittings that I'm supposed to be maintaining up there, are there? What are your thoughts on this issue?

you might be getting water and rust in your ball joint(s). it may respond to a shot of grease into the boot with a needle fitting on your grease gun. i have done this many times. it will probably work unless your boot is completely shot.
