I have a 1998 W202 C-Class with a noise that is driving me mad…please help!
It is a rubbing/grating noise that seems to come from the front left hand side wheel. It is most noticeable when turning (either left or right), but can also be heard very slightly when driving in a straight line at low speed.
I have had the wheel bearings checked on all wheels and they are all within specification. I have removed, checked and cleaned all callipers, pads and discs, front and back including the handbrake shoes. I have rotated the wheels back to front, and there are no signs of rubbing in the wheel arches. But still, after all that, the noise persists – Any suggestions on what else to look for would be appreciated, before it sends me totally ga-ga !
I also have another fault, possibly connected to the above problem, in that when I drove over an uneven road surface, I get a rhythmic knocking noise from the front left side wheel area. This is only noticeable first thing in the morning when the car is cold. The knocking is NOT apparent over speed humps or other types of road surface.
Thanks in advance for your help.
