As in repair job - no fun or no fun as a driving nightmare no fun.

This only occurs when the steering wheel is being turned.

The sound is literally like a wheel rubbing the curb at 1 mph as you're parallel parking (plus a little vibration throught the steering wheel) and doing a crappy job, but if you rev the engine or turn at higher speeds it is not noticable and the vibration sensation is also not present.

Might drive the other jalopy home tonight just so I don't kill the newer one

is this common for W210's

thanks
