A Rumble in the C220 CDI

[MarkHMerc]

I am getting a rumble from drivers side front wheel ( it seems to becoming from this area and I am assuming it's the wheel)

It happens at all speeds if going over uneven roads, it's not as noticible on motorways.

Any ideas of what it could be and if it's an easy ( cheap) fix.

Many thanks,

Mark

I don't think there is any play in the wheel ( But I aint no mechanic )

Will get them checked, thanks for the advice.

Check the antiroll bar drop links

Thanks Bumber,

That sounds a bit cheaper than the bearings ( I shall keep my fingers crossed)

back off the brake pads and spin the wheel ...listen for your noise.

now try test for play with the pads free of the disc. rotate the wheel to different positions and wiggle top and bottom.

pump the brakes back up before driving.
