Transmission/wheel noise

[Aussie A190]

I have a long wheel base A190. Recently the left front wheel has developed a whirring noise when turning sharp left or left uphill.

I have replaced the front tires which has reduced a general shudder noise and
had the wheel bearing replaced but the noise still persists.

Mercedes dealer and my regular mechanic are unable to diagnose the problem, and suspect a transmission fault of sorts.

Has any one else had this issue? Would much appreciate any info you may have.

Could it be the driveshaft's CV joint?

Maybe a CV joint. Post on the W168 forum and ask there??

Are you sure? Distinguishing noises apart is quite a challenge. Noises such as pump noises, torque converter noises, etc. In some situations, noises goes away when the transmission is in gear.

There is a slight Purr / Whine with mine when driving, I took a Mechanic out with me & he said it was the 'Run Flat Tires'

Admittedly not your problem Aussie A190 but thought it was worth a post.
