1997 E 320 - 2000 S500

Drivers Side Tire Problem

I have a 1997 E320 with 160,000 miles on it.

I am getting a creeking noise out of the front drivers side tire whem I drive the car.

At first it was lowder or only noticable when the car was moveing very slow.

Taking off from a light and so on .

Now the noise is much louder and all the time.

What could it be?

You may also want to check your wheel bearings by elevating the car then checking for any play in the wheel by rocking back and forth from to bottom then side to side.

Good luck
