Wobble at highway speeds
Having issue with a bit of vibration at highway speeds 65-75mph, new Toyo tires, new OEM rotors, akebono pads, front tires have been re balanced, 4 wheel alignment done. Does not shack when hitting brakes, drivers tie rod end new, passenger side upper control has small crack in bushing.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Spacers? I had a vibration at the same speed and it turned out my spacers in the back were causing it. That and I had cupped front tires.
Replaced front tires and shaking mostly went away, but once I took the spacers off it all went away completely. Never going to put them back on.
They were 5mm btw
Shaking from the steering wheel = front wheels
Shaking from the seat/floor = rear wheels

I think I figured it out, brought my car in to rebalance tires again, and tech good friend of mine says drivers side wheel has a high spot in it, he says its common on Mercedes factory wheels. Fix 60.00 Canadian, will keep everyone in the loop if it fixes it

I was going to buy the racing brake rotors, but I saw a few issues with them on YouTube, they breaking apart or seperating, anyone know where else to get light weight rotors from?
