W210 Front End Squeaks & Groans
I am at the 270K mile mark. I have been hearing more squeaks when low speed braking. When I back out of a parking spot I get the groans from the frt suspension. I have replaced the tie rod ends recently.
I was just at the dealer, the spring perches were checked & found OK. I think I have a belt tensioner idler pulley bad bearing, and the alt bearing does not sound great either. This does not affect the groans. I am thinking struts, lower control arm bushings, after that I dunno. Any assistance would be greatly appreiciated ! ! ! Thanks, Gary

Try spaying WD40 on different joints 1 at a time until there is a change.
