[W126 Coupe] Groaning/Creaking front end!?!?!

[Tad Heckaman]

On my car they replaced the ball joints and that got rid of my creaking. My
mechanic pointed out that the ball joint 'covers' (whatever they are called)
were broken/missing, which causes water to splash the grease out of the
joint. Squirting some oil into the joint should get rid of the noise for a
day or 2 until you can get it replaced.
