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.

This worked for my 2004 sl500 no damage just dry ball joints. After heavy lubrication squeak is gone. Thank you.

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 :)

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

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.

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 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.

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).

It was left when you open the hood, to spray the top of the shock absorber

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 .

love your video from a to z and music

Les Schwab changed my front and rare shocks on my f150 including one of the leaf springs . Now it makes squeaking noice on every bump k go thru also a popping noice from the front every time I hit the brakes little harder. A shop checked my front shocks and supposingly weren't tight enough but the problem remained afterwards . Any suggestions?

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

Thanks so much it worked 😊😊

Didn’t even take any parts off, and the noise and problem has been gone for a couple days now. I even been driving it around to test it out

Make sure it's a silicone spray,never use regular wd-40 on any bushings or rubber fittings.

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.

I was wondering if his brakes worked at all after that!

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.

I got that same damn squeak on the left side and yes do not use WD40 it washes right off after the first rain storm.

So in the video, why would you highlight the actual lower control arm @ $581 instead of the rubber bushes (directly bellow it and only $16.88) which in a realistic 99 out of 100 cases is what needs to be replaced?

Blaster makes a good silicone spray use it on my K5 ....

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
