Rubbing From Drivers Side Front Wheel

[danny18572]

I have a 2004 is 200 and recently have noticed like a rubbing/slight squeak noise from the front drivers wheel.

its not that loud because when the window is up you cannot hear it,only when the window is open it can be heard and its driving me made.

I ve had a new ball joint and new brake pads but it still hasn't cured the problem. The local garage must think im some sort of nutter keep ringing up and saying the noise is still there.

I don't think its a bearing as the noise is still there when I load the other wheel on a bend

Just wondered if there was anyone out there who could help

PLEASE its driving me mad

Dust guard most likely. Its common. Mine is the same but on the back wheel. Going to have a closer look next weekend. It will either need bashing back into place or grinding down. Its also mentioned here
