[W126 Coupe] Front suspension creaks

[Jonathan Hodgman]

Nope, nothing to grease.  I've found creaky front ends are generally
from bad guide rod mounts or ball joints..  On rare occasion, the
upper control arm bushings have been the culprit.  You might try
squirting the upper control arm bushings w/ a liberal amount of
silicone spray/lubricant see if that makes it go away temporarily.

As a thought, it could be the spring and the rubber pad squeaking..
