My current best theory is a hose that collapsed internally which then blew on
the pressure side leaving pressure in the caliper. Its worse when turning to
the right which I *think* supports my theory...
I think it needs new bearings on that side too. I *think* my Indy regreased
them when he did the other side (which had blown out) but I think I'll have him
do it again just for grins...

Sounds like what happened on my old Toyota truck when a rusty brake line
finally gave way. Not so much a "bang" as a sudden loss of brakes. And
because it had only one reservoir feeding both circuits, brake fluid was
rapidly depleted. I thought MB had a split reservoir, my 300D does, for
example.
Not sure this explains the grinding. Could a caliper have torn loose
somehow?
