    I was wondering if anyone could help me with this squeaky front end. I've got a 2022 W900, and it's got a squeak that sounds like it's coming from my leaf springs. And yes, everything is well-greased. I hear it going down the road sometimes, but always when I go over a speed bump. I read that some guys say it's the hood, but I'm not sure where it would be on the hood. Anyway, maybe someone else has had the same issue and can point me in the right direction.

    Put rags on the rubber pads where your hood rests and see if it goes away.

    Socks are expensive and necessary
    I prefer to borrow a can of White Lithium Grease (preferably from Peelot)
    Spray down bumper stops...coat em well
    Of course return said can to the evil empire
    Rinse and repeat;)

    The guy next to me uses the grease and it works also.
    He is always walking around with a stripe on his shirts.
    Gives his wife something to do ..

    I use tire grease or wax or whatever you call it. It's what tire shops use on a little mop to mount tires. I keep some in a small plastic container. It works great, and if you get some on your clothes it'll rinse out.
    Of course you have to reapply after a truck wash. It's call tire soap, just remembered.
