140w Squeaks
 
I have 1995 140w the miles are only 90,000. the car squeaks, and creaks, when driving,(front) or when some one gets out, just lately I have found that the squeak is louder and now can be heard if you are parked not moving and wiggle the steering wheel. I have have so many MB shops look at it and they have different diagnose, it getting expensive just to look at it , one lube the joints and bushings it helped for a while and came back now it won't go away. ANY ideas:confused:

Lower ball joints were causing it in my car.

On my previous car, it took me about 1.0 - 1.5 hours for both sides
( had never done this before ).
You may want to verify they are defective.
At that mileage there is a good chance they are.;)

Not hard, but you'd need two special pullers:
