Right Front Squeeling
Ok, Im confused. In the past, if there was a squeel from a front tire, it was usually a sign of the tabs on the brake shoes indicating pads are needed. So I called my MB dealer who said, "if there is no warning on the dash, the pads are fine" WTF? So i asked him what it could be? He said bring it in. Also seems like the car is pulling to the right also. 
Any suggestions?

Can't help you on the, um, noise from the right front, but "pulling to the right" seems to be a recurring theme here. You might try searching this forum under "pull* AND right", although I did and didn't get much back. Funny, nobody seems to report "pulling to the left" as a problem. Apart from listening to less Rush Limbaugh, you could ask the dealer if they have any bulletins on the "pulling to the right" problem.

A similar squeal from the left front turned out to be some kind of a brake pad backing plate that had come loose. Dealer replaced it within a few minutes and all has been well since. Good luck.
