well this could probably not be it, but i did not have any squeeking noises, till i lowred my car..then i did that, noises came from every side, its prolly because the car is so stiff

hi guys
finally got to do my lower control arm bushings with alignment. dropped 250$ and was hoping that would be the end of my clunking and loose feeling of my c36. guess i was wrong.
the first day i took the car out it felt better than before but overly tight as some people mentioned it would. my rear felt a lot more loose than the front but hey i though at least not the front is perfect.(strange thing was that my mechanic told me that everything is ok with my rear suspension)
so after few days i started hearing noises. they sound like some sort of squeeking or something like that. to describe it better, if u ever heard someone rocking on a grandma's old wooden chair and wood makes a noise (except its metal in my case) thats what it is. noise makes me feel like the whole suspension is twisting or something. for example i roll in Drive and make a turn u hear it. i have passangers and front standstill i start driving u hear it. i brake u hear it.
damn it what can it be? did the guy overtighted something. i mean i brought the car back to him and he tried spraying some w40 on sway bar bushings. i think it helped maybe a little but the noise is still there. like i said just rolling in D and making turns makes that grandma chair noise.
now also my wheel bearing is bad. we though it was balljoints but after jiggeling wheel for a little bit he told me its a wheel bearing. somehow after putting new control arm bushings basically the car got stiffer and everything else took a bigger load hence whatever was worn got worse.
also my shocks are leaking :-(. stock shocks with 100k on it.
so what could that noise be?

Baaa
I'll tell you what it is
My 97 230 was doing just that, and the dealer replaced:
1) upper control arms
2) lower control arm bushings
3) stabilizer bar bushings
4) ball joints
It's all fixed now, and totally squeak-free. I also had the alternator replaced - dash lights would dim, followed almost immediately by engine revs dropping and recovering - alternator kicking in.
Gotta love that Starmark warranty!
I am having almost the same problem. but there is a noise coming from the back (in the trunk on the right side behind the carpeting). I checked it out it, it is something like a small pump, unplugged it and plugged it back, but still...the same noise (noise is like a loucd CD changer changing CD's) It looks like a small pnuematic thingy that has small hoses connected to it, CAN SOMEONE HELP? I took it to a mech and he said it is a pump the gives the shocks air (like air shocks) But last time i checked i have regular gas bilstien shocks in the front and back can someone help please??? or explain the "little" pump system
If it might help i can post pics later
