About a week after purchasing my 95 C220 I noticed it beginning to "squeek" when going over bumps.
This continued until finally it began squeeking while driving even on smooth roads and when accelerating/stopping. However after large downpours of rain the squeeking would usually stop for a day or two.
Finally, I took the car to a mechanic who told me it was the struts and bushings. He replaced both, which came to $575.
Now today, after a pleasant day of absolutely no high pitch squeeks, it has begun to squeek again tonight. Not nearly as bad, but whenever I slow down usually. This leads me to believe it is the brakes?
However, when I apply WD40 or w/e to the bushing things under the wheel well it stops all together for about 7 or 8 hours.
What could this be?!! Thanx!
