Actually, MB calls it "rubber mounting", part 202 352 01 65.
And, no disrespect meant,
no one refers to that bushing as a ball joint.
Yes, those outer and inner bushings on the spring link will cause squeaking noises as they rot. My 91 TE does it left side intermittently, so I need to do what Ron SC did.
