1998 Mercedes Benz S420 Repair Question
Asked on October 30, 2009
Vibration
Tires and Wheels problem
1998 Mercedes Benz S420 V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 200000 miles
My car vibrates in the 50 mph range. I found it to be annoying about 9 months ago and assumed it was the tires. I replaced the tires and still have the same problem. It happens whether I coast or accellerate so it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the drive train.
I do know that I have had a broken front spring, for quite some time. From what I understand, just the end of it. The car seems to ride level. I only notice it when I go over speed bumps and it creaks.
I don't know where to take the car to get a solution without trying a bunch of new parts.
Thanks.
