I've had other things that needed working on before I posted something about this one. It's been going on for quite a while. When driving my '85 300D uphill and making left hand turns, it makes a squeeling sound, kind of like what brakes sound when you apply them except I'm not doing that in this instance. It seems to be speed sensitive and it appears to go away when I do apply the brakes. It sounds as if it's coming from one of the rear wheels. Is there something loose or worn out?

Check the rear brake pads for lip formation.

Check the rear wheel bearings for slop.

Check the parking brake on the side where noise is.

Whunter, sounds like these hmms are a good place to start. The noise does seem to go away when I apply the brakes but its kind of hard to do that while going up hill and turning at the same time.
I like the graphics.
