C55 scraping noise from left passenger wheel well
Hi everyone,

I have an '06 C55 and I've noticed a scraping sound coming from the left passenger wheel well. It mainly happens when I hit a serious dip or bump, but it frequently happens when I have people riding in the back seat. I have 19 inch SL63 rims installed. Has anyone else had this problem or at least heard of it and have any ideas? Thanks!

Have you checked to see if the inner fender (the black plastic mud guard in the wheel arch) has come loose?

Yeah, some sort of plastic shield may have dropped a hair. That was my issue.
