And now that I think about it, the upper control arm on the right front has been replaced recently. It’s nearly brand new. Maybe that wheel was on the right front…. Hmm. -D > On May 22, 2019, at 1:26 PM, Randy Bennell via Mercedes > wrote: > > > check front too > they may have moved tires

I found mine about 200 miles after the noise started. By then I had 1/4" or more of axial free play at the rim when I put it on a hoist. No odd tire wear, just noise at times, which I think was the disk rubbing the caliper carrier. Mitch. > On May 22, 2019 at 1:03 PM Dan--- via Mercedes

Good point, Randy. As Kaleb suggested, I figured I would pop for an alignment and see what came out of it. I know the tire place will want to sell me a set of tires, but I can do an end run and avoid engaging with them on the sale. The affected tire is bad enough I’ll have to replace it soon.

Is there an easy way to determine if there’s a bad wheel bearing? I’ve looked over the bushings and suspension and didn’t see anything worn or amiss. I’ll try and post a picture of the tire tread later today. It’s weird. Thanks! -D > On May 22, 2019, at 11:31 AM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes >

Probably a bad pivot somewhere in the rear suspension. Jack it up and see if there's any slop. If it needs a wheel bearing I've got an extra Timken on hand. Mitch. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To

If the tire wear is uniform on the offended side, it is unlikely rim is bent, it is more likely there is a suspension rubber allowing the wheel to scrub rather than run true with the other three.. Suggest a in depth look at all suspension components, and a 4 wheel alignment check. As Kaleb has

I know on the 210 the right rear tire wears a lot faster than the left side. Also I have the same issue with the inner wear on line which has a squeaky support joint on that side I need to replace. Sent from my iPhone > On May 22, 2019, at 8:39 AM, Dan--- via Mercedes > wrote: > > So the
