The P/O of my 124 did the same thing with a curb or something, when I would apply a decent amount of pressure to the bakes I would here a horrible sound coming from the front of the car, couldnt figure out what it was till one day my radiator started spewing, when I replaced it I noticed things were not lining up and thought I had been given the wrong radiator, but when doing a side by side comparison they were the same, I crawled under the car to see what was holding it up to find the lower support had been bent up and back a bit which was putting my radiator just mm.'s away from the fan blades, I took a small sledge hammer and finessed them back to their orig spot and all fit well and no more horrible noise.
