you'll end up needing more than one*
When the ball joints or various bushings go bad try some lube before replacing.

Thank you this really worked for me. My 2006 CLS 500 was making all sorts of suspension noise. I had the sway bar links replaced which was necessary, but still lots of suspension creaking and clicking. Repair shop recommendation was to replace other suspension components starting with lower control arms $1394. I decided to give your approach a try; used WD40 Specialist Silicone Lube ($9) and found a Jiffy Lube which agreed to do it for me ($60 plus tax). Result =95% of the suspension noises gone almost immediately. Thank you! Saved over $1300
Thank You for your very valuable info input also Sir. I, myself not being a mechanic and without being able to find a rack to use, hopes we're futile to none as no repair shops won't do this kind of work, as I've been finding out, they only really just want to literally "rape" someone in only replacing parts !
YESSS THIS METHOD WORKED FOR ME I got WD-40 Specialist Silicone Lube Sprayed a whole can on everything I could, it worked thank you 🙏🏼

Did it stop squeeking as soon as you put the lube? Or did you wait a couple of days??
Did you have to wait a few days or was it instant?
we need update on this!
I've just sprayed normal wb40 all over my parts and it worked instantly
This works works works ! This saved me pulling up sounding creaky asf everybody looking and stuff my ball joints weren't busted or nothing just dry asf
Shamilia Miller Id go over speed bumps even taking them slow and I’d get a horrendous squeak the whole parking lot could hear. Jack the car up took wheel off sprayed all the rubber bushings and everything else that was rubber with silicone spray no more squeaking. I can now take those speed bumps with silence.
Lmao so true!
@Ryan I started this process 2 hours before test and had taken test within 3 hours so it lasted that long
@Ryan did it work man??
We're exactly do you spray on too?
Thanks! I was obsessing about trying to find the exact squeaky bit. MUCH easier to just squirt silicone everywhere. The worst it can do is not work and then I'm no worse off. Well, the price of a burger worse off. I can afford that :)
Our car was garaged for a while since the injector needs to be replaced. When it got fixed, rear creaking sounds came out all of a sudden! This is perfect for us! Temporary fix for ruined bushings for sure. But this could easily be a preventive maintenance especially on tropical weather heavy sun and rain would ruin bushings.
If silicone spray doesn't work well, try putting some AT205 Reseal in a spray bottle and applying it to the bushings. Usually takes a day or so to work but more durable than silicone.
It's 5 times the price
@@paulgilraine3127 Yes but cheaper than replacing bushings. Silicone usually works for me.
Alright "Scotty" 😂
@@craigerylee4013😂
As soon as I read "at205 in a spray bottle" I started hearing scotty's voice in my head! 😂 @@craigerylee4013
This worked for my 2004 sl500 no damage just dry ball joints. After heavy lubrication squeak is gone. Thank you.
This worked like a charm on my 06 S55 AMG. Yesterday had that awful sound coming from the front driver’s side. Pushing on it made the same exact noise. A can of silicon line from Home Depot $3.98 a can and she’s rolling and quiet! Thank you for the quick inexpensive fix!
Silicon *lube
Can you do it without removing the wheel I’m afraid if I go to a shop an ask them to spray they’ll just lie and tell me this won’t work etc mine only creaks and low speeds but it’s so annoying I don’t think it’s broken or need replacing
I just did this on my Tesla Model X, the front was squeaking, and I sprayed it on everything that was connected by a rubber bushing to another part, and most of it went away immediately! I will wait a couple days to see if it goes away totally, but if it doesn't yet, I'll give it another helping of the spray!
Thanks so much for this video!!!
Sending my thanks from Calgary, Alberta!
How is it now.
@@bobmurphy1142 squeaking again even after 3 helpings of the stuff. :-( I have a service centre appointment tomorrow. I'll just pay to get it fixed.
@@AriellXavierArevalo prob didn't hit the area that was squeaking
@@DarioLProductionsor just maybe the part is too far gone. And really do needs to be replaced.
Some people in the comments are misleading by saying you eventually need to change the parts. In some cases you do but sometimes the noise is debris, corrosion or rust build-up between a bolt and nut or area by which the bolt portion proceeds. For example, the hole where your outer tie rod bolt/nut goes into the steering knuckle can be loosened, cleaned and ubricated to get rid of the noise without changing the part (sometimes I even use sandpaper to clean the stud part of the tie rod so that it fits smoothly back into the steering knuckle). Only this process takes a little more than spraying and you should have some automotive mechanical skills (as you may throw your alignment off if not done properly).
Especially on Mercedes
Without looking at the car in person I couldn’t say much for the other suspension parts, but looking at the way the front bounces up and down after you stopped pushing on it, I’m fairly certain you need new front struts and mounts. Especially if the front end dives excessively when braking, and bounces up and down multiple times after hitting bumps.
That’s what I thought… I replaced both struts and the creaking was still there.
@@bradenkay1203I have the same issue, it's frustrating
I was skeptical, so I tried it, was less skeaking for 1 day, Just reapplied today and it's almost no skeaking, need to find a lift to really get after it. Used wd40 silicone specialist. Thank you for the tip !!!
Hi Dan
Although not a benz my Camry was creaking groaning & knocking from the front sprayed every rubber bush i could see inc down the strut tower
Guess what.....cured now drives like a dream ::))
Oh dude!!! Thanks so much!! I replaced everything a couple years ago and can't find any problems. Nothing loose....this must be it. Thanks for sharing and putting your time into this video for everyone.
Was that it cuz? I have the same issue
@@ImLiterally.Him. I'm still getting some noise on passenger side. I took it a set further and injected the ball joints with lithium grease. Maybe I need to take a rip on a rough road to work it in. I hope so....it's maddening. Lol
@@TheMobilTrader did this solve your problem? haha i’m having the same trouble
I did this BEFORE seeing your video. I inspected our 2008 ford edge for the same squeak and came to the conclusion it could be the lower control arm. I sprayed it and it disappeared. Now, the symptoms of a bad lower arm is clunking, tire wear, steering issues, etc. None of that has happened on our edge but we must keep a close eye on these symptoms or lots more money will be spent on repairs.
That is only a temporary measure as you will need to get it fixed eventually. As a rule-of-thumb it is sensible to keep all moving parts lubricated to prevent the costly trips to the garage over the years with any vehicle.
"i'm feeling pretty clever right now" - takes car to shop to get fixed.
Bill Gates.got.ripped what a username 🦠
I did this on my 2015 Audi A3 -etron and worked an absolute treat! Thanks mate...great advice!
Dude I've got 2016 a3 saloon and I have a question. Did the noise disappear for good or is it just a temporary fix. What is your opinion after a couple of weeks?
M I hi mate, still haven’t heard a peep...it’s so worth it even if it meant spraying it once a month in my view :)
it worked on my Volvo XC90. Thanks dude
@1:04 the music and scene kicks in, and I'm in the Mercedes zone 😎
When I change my oil at 5000 miles , while on a mechanics lift . I liberally spray 303 Protectant on all rubber and plastic components underneath . It has been said to spray the silicone into a styrofoam cup . If it starts bubbling up , it was the negative effect of the propellent . Then to use a silicone spray that won't have that effect . Because if it does the propellent will degrade the rubber over time .
Daniel Kon I love you! I finally brought my W221 out of it's winter hibernation and it squeaked like a horny Asian student. $5 CAD down on the silicon lube, vigorous spraying then leaving it for a couple of days and bingo, no more squeaks. I'm 100% sure if I took it to the dealership it would have been hundreds of dollars spent. Thanks man! Keep the Mercedes videos going, they are great!!
Happy to hear it!
Best video I’ve seen in a while.✌🏽
Instead of replacing an entire suspension arm, you can just buy the bushings and ball joints then take the arm off and the it and the bushing to a shop that will press the new ones in for you. I'd guarantee you for that $500 arm, doing this probably would've been $100 or less including the shop labor.
Also to diagnosis where the squeak is coming from, you can spray them with water which will stop the squeak for a bit which will allow you to confirm which bushing is squeaking instead of having to fire the parts cannon.
Only buy silicon bushings ignore the rubber ones. Then you will never have to change them again.

Great to do just before selling a car!!
haha sleazy used car lot tactics
Lmfao!!!
Detraxa 😂😂😂
I bet you think that everyone who sells a car is out take advantage of other people. This is called self projection. The world is seen and understood through your own eyes. If they be contaminated, then you will not be able to see with clarity and the world you witness will also appear contaminated/corrupt.
@@bmwchannel7209 all car salesman are shitty lol dont flatter yourself. sell crap to make ends meet
If you spray a ball joint to shut it up make sure you check it for play because it may seperate if worn too much.
the ball-joint can do all it wants to... as long as it's in silence 🙂
this nagging noise when the BJ has prematurely dried out is purposely built as a warning (much like on the brake pads without a dash-light sensor).
The 2 links to the stabilizer-bar are super cheap and go bad extra quickly in Benz
Worked great on my 08 Honda Odyssey. Thanks!
I have the same noise and it happens when turning steering wheel while stopped too 🙄 I just spent over $1000 doing all brakes and all shocks/struts and the noise still happens. Gonna give this a shot!
Wish you good luck 🍀
I had this issue and replaced control arm and worked.
How did this work ?
What are you referring to?
Was it a ball joint? Or do you not know still?
If you spray one motion point at a time, you can discover the source of the squeak.
Please elaborate
Shivaram Rajkumar pretty simple spray one part at a time drive the car or push where the squeak was and see if it’s gone if it’s no longer there you found your verdict
@@steveyuhas85 its a lot better to spray the entire thing.
@@davecfishing7907 You repeat the process until every moving part has been sprayed.
OP is right, this is the way to do it. Find the source of the noise, then if it comes back a week later you know it's not just a lubrication problem, and that part needs replaced.
Thanks mate. I got a Mercedes benz c200 w203 that has the exact same squeak and I did check if anything was loose and so far nothing. Will give that spray a try.
Did it work
Make sure it's a silicone spray,never use regular wd-40 on any bushings or rubber fittings.
I've got this sound and my control arms are new. Pissing me off to no end.
SAME so pissed spent tons of money on other things too but I’m going to do this today. Can’t take it anymore
@@katherinedavar7204 whats the result?
Thanks bro! I'll pick up some of this spray and see how it goes. 👍🏼
How's it working so far
Avoid/be careful around the brake rotors though. Lubing the brake surface is the last thing you want.... :)
Dear, Is it ok to spray all front parts and joints? Control arm, stabilizer, struct mount ?
I was wondering if his brakes worked at all after that!
Good video, going to try it on my 04 Mustang.......thanks. Tom in OR
amazing service!!
You can get a job at the dealer for "Express Lube" $1,000
instead of "bushings job" $2,500
What
Imagine walking out a parking lot and see some guy going ham and bouncing his car
😂😂😂😂
😭😭😭
That guys me bruh
My w221 is making the exact same noise. I bought the car 2 weeks ago. I know they lubed it up real good then sold it to me🤷♂️
I have the w221 as well, its doing the same squeak. Did this solve your problem for good or sound came back? Im a bit worried if its safe to spray as i also heard it could wash away any parts that have grease in it
Not gonna sound like I have kilos in the trunk anymore 🤣
Ayo did it work? 🤣🤣🤣
Keeping it simple. I like it.
Good Work, Friend. If you want better lubrication, use White Lithium Grease.
No
@@adelkhalil8031 But why not?
It works.. thanks .. my only question is how often do you have to lubricate them..
Semi annually I say
Great! No more squeaking. All that spray killed the rat living in your wheel well.
Don't do this, the squealing is a reminder to replace
freepomeroon not always
@@freepomeroon Ahaha thats not true! I just got brand new parts however they forgot to grease em up!
I just turn the bass up and let subs kick
White lithium grease is even better because it’s thicker won’t run off will last longer, same price
Any brand you know ?
Definitely a good upper body workout if nothing else.
It can also meen dry balljoints.
The boy just discovered that lubricating suspension is good like butter on bread. 😂
Thanks my dude, this helped me out a lot!
Thanks 🙏 brother! I used regular W-D 40 and it worked. I have a 2000 Mercedes s500
Me too I just it 30 mins ago and the squeak has disappeared
My neighbors were looking at me like a crazy woman 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for the song alone!
Spray all rubber with AT-205. THAT’S what will soak into the rubber and rejuvenate it.
Where do you get at205
That's good shit! Better than anything else
fixed my problem, such a good video!
damn it looks like it gave you more suspension travel too or atleast everything is working now it was probably binding up and just so stuck thank you for this video man I just picked up a car kinda barn find n she's squeaking like no other
Prices you showed are for the whole arm. The arms can last up to 30 years no problem. The ball joints need replacement at some point proce of those is maybe like €15 a peace.
Unfortunately, there's a central bushing that is not replaceable
Is it just me or was it concerning the amount of lube he got on the break rotors?
I was thinking the same thing! I hope he didn't get anyone killed. This looks like a used cars salesman trick.
It comes off so quickly. Don’t forget that brakes can incredibly hot.
Minimum 7 can job 200ml each
Maybe he likes the smell of burning silicone
WD-40 is just as good 😂
This is only a temporary fix as soon as it wears off and you go through puddles of rain and snow the noise will come back. The bushings are worn so eventually they're going to have to be replaced. But you can also use spray Grease and it will last a lot longer than just a silicone spray. Everything's a rip off with these cars today they can make the bushings last for 50 to 80 years but they don't because they want you to replace them just like the brake lines they can make everything rust free but they don't because again it's all about money money money that's what the whole world is based on. Actually it's based on everything is a ripoff
It's like the saying "anyone can make a bridge that stands, it takes an engineer to build a bridge that barely stands". They just build the stuff as cheap as possible instead of building it to last.
Then they wonder why we have so much pollution and all this go green crap is Bullchitz. They should put laws into place, where parts will not need repair for more than 10 years, so this way, it creates less waste, less pollution do to less recycle and Manufacturing plants to make these parts, over and over and over.
By allowing cheap non lasting parts, go green is a Hoax by all means.
Planned obsolescence. Thats why I drive old reliable cars.
Yupp if they made good cars there wouldn't be a need for used car salesmen and there'd be less repair shops.
Yup that's true
Make sure to get extra on your rotors, they need as much lube as they can get
Yeah I'm pretty sure this guy's done time somewhere unofficially.
It was left when you open the hood, to spray the top of the shock absorber
Yeah that's really smart. Spray the crap out of everything near your brake assembly.... Screech... Smash, bang, boom,!!
I'm not sure what happen officer, my brakes didn't work at all. But my suspension was soooo quiet.. Please don't spray any kind of lubricant with such disregard anywhere near your brakes for your safety. Sometimes just taking your car to the carwash and spraying all of those areas with the tire cleaner and then hot soapy water will get all the brake dust of which is what causes some of that in the first place.
notice the shields
My Mercedes S430 makes that sound on the passenger side I didn't know it was so easy. but I do that to mine is the same as yours
Sure it wasn't your passenger? It usually is with me :)
EXCELLENT. BRAVO!
My Chrysler 300C is doing this. Now if I only had somewhere to lift it up! 🤣
j-rock would have ricky steal the parts to properly fix his W211, gnome sayin?
Waddup maafk!
Daniel...it happened...it finally happend to my C63.....like a lowrider with a bad leg....she squeks... I will try to get her as lubed as you did your misses.. I hate touching her up like this.
There, there now.... you'll feel better when the squeak goes gone. Of course, avoid getting anything in those AMG breaks/ rotors. Keep us updated.
@@DanielKon15 Thank you most benevolent one sound advice as usual. Cheers
*Squeaks
$,$$$*
this guy is hilarious
love your video from a to z and music
Everyone watching this video is smart for thinking outside the box lol
Disk brakes are gone with all that lube 😂
yep the way he's spraying, the rotors got a nice coat of silicone 😂
Do not use WD40 on any suspension bushings, it will severely decrease its durability after a while.
@@TechStuff365 No. Use purely silicon based spray instead.
I need to put it on my bed.
If you don’t have any of the silicon spray around, PB blaster works, just not as well.
I will try this tomorrow or this week in give up date soon i hope it works 🙏 hopefully ball joints are not busted up lol
You could just use a grease gun and lubricate your chassis and the results would last much longer and it's actually recommended by the manufacturer
"not going to lie; I feel pretty clever" 😋
from the face it it doesn't have rockchips and the paint is nice color and shines like new
and when you have an special class you have to do what you have to do to keep it like new
do a comparison your w220 and w222, and no car looks good up close if you haven't compound and polish
Problem with these types of high liquidity lubes is they don't last too long and they wash away other greases and lubes internally between the bolts and bush shaft.
Good Job man, going to do this to my ATV :)
Works well
My experience, if one of your joints is squeeking, usually there's a problem. This is just a band aid.
Thank you I'll look into that spray, I saw some moron post a video of him using WD 40 which isn't a lubricant and is awful for rubber.
Hello.I have the same noise from front right in car 8 years old..I will try silicone spray...
you should try the stuff Scotty Kilmer recommends
skyline AT205 Reseal

@@aaronkeehan5048 tried the Reseal?

@@aaronkeehan5048 Might take some time to revitalize the rubber
really good video. thank you.
At some point, our friend is pushing the car up and down and it keeps bouncing there for a moment..the shocks are gone. Push the car down let it come up, it should never bounce down again on its own. Shocks need replacing.
I Will try 👍
Make sure to get the brake discs because they get really squeaky too.
there are shields..
Blaster makes a good silicone spray use it on my K5 ....
So spray it every how many months ?
Gonna try this on my MKZ .
Omg yes my rear is doing that and it makes me sick lol I need to do this
Just wondering if all of that silicone spray will cause dirt to collect during warm weather and wear on those bushings.
If your bushing is squeaking and spraying it with lube takes care of the noise, dirt was likely able to get in already. I don't think spraying it with lube would make that problem worse.
A like just for the Ralph clip
def helps.
I need to know what website u we’re on for those diagrams lol
If it's the bushings okay. But if the ball joint goes bad, and the noise goes away, you still need to change it.
a true artist..you need to direct Rock videos or something..lol..
Would this happen when steering too like it sounds like this ?
You are one of the best youtubers ❤️
Thanks men help me a lot 👍
Bro I have that so annoying ritenow gonna do this today hope it works.
Did it work bro
@@rawiriwiniata9720 it works for like 2 weeks and you have to keep reapplying unless your do for new breaks
If your brakes are do just replace em you’ll save money
