Last week a builder asked me how I liked my ML320.
To keep the conversation short I said "It is fun to drive".

He said he thought of buying one for his wife but hears they "Squeek".
I told him I did have to replace the rear shorck at 90,000 miles and now the front is making noise.
Its a shame Mercedes has this Rep.

My question is, I thought I needed new struts , but a couple guys said more likly it is the ball joints and I should peel up the ball joint rubber boots and "Oil them"

I crawled underheath and those boots didnt peel up. I sure wish zerk fittings were used on upscale machines. Anyone have a simple solution ?
