'98 E320 Front End Squeaks--Rubber bushings? Which ones?
 
Good morning,
This car has squeeks in the front end--sounds like rubber bushings need to be lubed--
1) which bushings are more likely to cause this ?
2) what do I use as a rubber lule?

Maybe front swaybar?
You could try spraying a little silicone lube where the bar passes trhough the bushing & see if that helps. ;)

This is also a symptom of failing ball joints. Turn the wheels full lock, get underneath and check for torn dust boots at the ball joints and look for the telltale light brown rust in the local area.

I had this problem and temporarily eliminated it by very carefully spraying a shot of WD40 at the ball joint. You don't want to get ANY on your brake disk for obvious reasons.
