my c280 is creaking from front end and more

[vettemad]

Hi Guys, Another quandrie or two...since I've been fixing everything from the engine harness to all new brakes with sucess and am back on the road I was quickly reminded of another nagging problem.....It's creaking comming from my front end...left side more than the right. I have sprayed the entire suspension area with silicone lube when that did'nt work trans oil....Is there a perticular single thing that gets dry and creaks on these things? this 1995 car only has 60k miles and the front end is tight, no play, altho I do suspect prehaps the steering damper may be wearing out as I have a slight wobble above 70 mph even tho theres no runout in the wheels and I have had tires balanced 3 times now....I did put amg 17 monoblocks with factory sized tires for that car/wheel, I had a non mercedes shop do the alignment and may go back to my dealer for that as I know there are extensive m-b procedures to be followed as well as which tires can cause the car to drive funky at times....then in the next thread I can revisit steering wheel squeaking... altho I've seen posts I can't find any on c280 creaking... thanks, Cliff
