Hi everyone,
As I had mentioned this before, I have some kinda of grinding noise coming possibly from the right-front part of the car. The noise can be heard when the car is accelrating gradually and decelerating. Recently, this noise- or I should say the grinding noise- is getting louder and accompanyed by subtle vibration to the steering wheel and door panel. By the way, I have a 98 E320. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this car or piece of junk, should I say. ![]() |

Wheel Bearing?
This sounds like the symptoms of a bad wheel bearing. I had a BMW 635i and the right front bearing went out on me at about 105k miles.
The wheel bearings in any car will eventually have to be replaced. If your problem turns out to be wheel bearings - you may want to consider having the shop replace both front bearings at the same time. The left bearing might die soon - or it might last 100k more miles. Depends upon how deep your wallet is and your willingness to go to the shop again. Regards, Troy 1995 E420 |

By the way, what is funny is that prior to bringing my car to this mechanic, I have brought my car in to a local dealer on two occasions, spending well over $182 for inspection. "Twice to the same dealership and they didn't find anything wrong with your car, isn't that strange," my wife asked me this evening. I thought may be they only know how to change oil. That's all. That is all they know best.
