Problem overview

Some Mercedes-Benz C300 owners report experiencing severe squeaking noises when turning and going over bumps, which may not solely be attributed to lubrication issues. These owners have noted that the squeaking could also be related to worn-out suspension components, particularly when navigating over bumps. Additionally, problems with the steering system, including the steering column or suspension setup, might contribute to the noise during turns. Worn brake pads or sticking calipers have also been identified as potential causes of squeaking sounds when turning and applying the brakes. Furthermore, low power steering fluid, worn belts, or dry suspension components can lead to similar squeaking when the wheel is turned. It is crucial for owners to address these potential causes promptly to accurately diagnose and resolve the issue, as regular maintenance and timely repairs can help prevent further complications and ensure a smoother driving experience.
