I believe you are referring to the camber bushings and yes it can be a bear to replace.  It is difficult to diagnose the problem, but I had a similar noise with a W126 car.  The noise sounded like a spring mount, but ended up being a bad lower control arm bushing.  It was easier to replace with used control arm vs. having press out / in new bushngs.  That cleared the problem, but a front end alignment was necessary to adjust the camber and caster adjustment.  Good luck if you haven't already fixed.  I have a sourced for used parts if needed.

Well, the sound was definitely coming from where the track rod connects
to the lower control arm. Of course, the car doesn't make the noise
anymore... I checked and the bolt isn't loose or anything, so I guess
I'll just see if it comes back...
