First and foremost I would like to thank evryone for all the help I received in solving my last little fuse issue, all fixed and running...excellent. I just aquired the above mentioned vehichle around 3 weeks ago and I took my first long trip over this weekend. I am pleased to say that in every other way she's a runner...strong with plenty of get up and go and smooth but I have noticed something that troubles me. When I am parked on an incline of any sort and I have to back out or drive at low speed with the wheel turned extremely to the right or left I hear a loud rubbing type sound from the wheel well area. This does not happen when I am at a stop and turn the wheel only slow speeds so it seems power steering is fine. I also hear and feel like the front end is not as solid as I remember my other MB's to be. When I had the vehichle inspected it checked out fine but the shop did not test drive the car so perhaps it was overlooked.
I have stock OEM wheels and tires so no tire size issues that I can see. The mechanic I took it to did mention soon I will need rotors and pads for the front but I cannot imagine that being the problem.
I am trying to beckon the MB gurus out here to perhaps enlighten me while trying to find out what I could be up against. What type of price range for a repair of this nature? I am in Ft Lauderdale, Forida..thank you
