Question 1989 560SEL Humming sound when driving straight

Hey everyone!

Here is an interesting question. I purchased a 1989 560SEL with 115K mileage and with immaculate interior and exterior. The problem that I am having is that after using the brakes (normal or traffic braking) there is a weird humming noise coming from the car. I have checked and replaced the front wheel bearings thinking that it could be the issue but no luck.

Here's what is strange, when I turn in either direction, the humming stops. Once I straighten up, the humming returns.

I am asking the MBWorld forum of Gods to assist me with ideas.



Thank you!!!
Chris
