E Class W212 Front suspension squeak

[Candellara]

As per title.

Steering with or without lock travelling over uneven road (reversing off of drive being a great example)

Large squeak from front suspension. I'm guessing front ARB bushes (bonded) or drop links?

Anyone else had this problem?

Drop links, I'd have said. What sort of miles do you have on it?

[Candellara]

60k miles. I had a suspicion of drop links but I've also heard that the ARB bushes are bonded on and are prone to creaking

Could be the balljoints on the suspension arms - you'll need to replace the whole arm if that's the case. Mine are on the way out.

So, passed MOT ok - no visible issues or play

I've replaced the ARB drop links with new MB items as a precaution but the issue remains
