Hi All,
My 2004 w203 gives me a squeal from the front drivers side when going through a gentle right hand bend. It doesn't happen when cold. But as it warms up I can hear it start. A quick touch of the brakes stops it but then it returns awhile later. If I continue on without touching the brakes it turns into an embarrassingly loud screech. But again, a quick touch of the brakes stops it. I originally though it was the front pads so I changed those. They needed it anyway. While down there I had a look at everything else and it looks good. Discs look fine and rotate freely. All the bushings and everything look fine too.
But the squeal still shows up. Not at motorway speeds but more on the backroads around 40-60 mph. And only in gentle right hand bends.
What should I be looking for? Ball joints? Wheel bearings?
Thanks.
