On a 1984 300SD, when turning right, the driver's side front emits a strange grinding type noise. The noise sounds kind of like the tread of the tire is rubbing against something. As far as I can tell, it's not.
The vehicle is most likely in need of replacement motor mounts (noise/vibration when starting and braking in reverse). Could this somehow be related?
I'm thinking it's either somehow related to the motor mounts, or it's a wheel bearing problem. I don't notice any strange noises from the wheel except when turning right, but the vehicle is quite noisey and could make it hard to distinguish.
Thanks.
