Problem overview

Some Mercedes-Benz GLE43 AMG owners report experiencing grinding noises and vibrations when turning left, which may be attributed to suspected manufacturing defects in the drive shaft. These symptoms can include a circular noise resembling two metal plates rubbing together, indicating potential issues with the turning components. Additionally, some owners notice creaking and popping noises, which may result from worn-out or broken suspension joints, adversely affecting the driving experience. A knocking noise from a specific wheel, particularly the right front passenger wheel, could also signal localized problems. Furthermore, concerns with the power steering system, such as the overworking of the power steering pump, may contribute to these unusual noises while turning. It is recommended that owners have their vehicles inspected by a qualified mechanic or authorized service center to diagnose and resolve these issues promptly.
