2008 CLS550 Wheel Shimmy 40MPH and above
Hi,
Helping out my brother and his 08 CLS550. The car has developed a wheel shimmy at 40mph and above at all times. Also there is a popping sound I cant seem to pin down. Ive checked the suspension arms and all seems tight. No busted bushings or bad tie rods. Upper ball joint seems tight although I cant really tell on the lower one.
I did pierce through the boot on the lower ball joint with a needle and filled it with oil. The popping noise seemed to be less now. Am I safe to assume I need lower ball joints?
