So last thursday(thanksgiving) I drove through some pretty DEEP puddles, along the lines of 6" deep. Well the car has been sitting since I got home that night and today I drove the car and I get this grinding noise when I launch in first and when I take a right turn. Anyone have any ideas?

I got the same problem since last week, when I at any speed over 35mph and do stop and "deep" turn at the same time I got those noise too.. is the steering motor problem ?

looking for the answer too...... help..

could be the wheel well covering was dislocated after driving in water.

this has happened to my W220 before, so it could be the same issue. all my mechanic did was to re-seat them.

hope this helps!

I had a similar issue, I would get a grinding noise when "whipping in" to a parking space or drive thru. It didn't happen all the time, only about once a day. My mechanic at the MB dealer said he thought it was the brakes even though my pads have life left. He couldn't find anything else wrong that would cause it. I'm going to get them changed w/ aftermarket here shortly.

hmm could that be something they would cover under warranty you know if I omit the "drove through a huge puddle" part? It does it off of the launch as well
