Vibrating Steering Wheel
Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and so far have been looking around and have some awesome ideas for my car. But I am having a few issues with my car which is the reason for this thread. I have a 2011 C300 sport with 3100 miles on it. I picked it up in December and it has been awesome. Now just a FYI I did get into an accident at 750mi (i know stupid) but I hit a curb not paying attention at 40mph and broke the front wishbone and shock. I replaced all the parts with oem and replaced everything broken. The shock wasn't too bad but i wanted to get a fresh start. But anyways I have begun to notice now that my car has a vibration in the steering wheel when sitting at a light. This is only in D as well and when I stop the steering wheel has a small yet vigorous vibration. Now it is odd because sometimes it is worse than others. Now I don't know if i am being **** or if it is an issue i should get fixed under warranty. Their is no vibration anywhere else which is why I noticed this. Also have noticed that when i am turning the steering makes a whinning noise. Now it is louder than expected and only occurs sometimes as well.... I dont know if the accident did something but i did fix everything and i dont really feel that a small accident like that could cause all these issues. I have also had problems with rattles and knocking noises from the sun roof but that is a different issue.... Thanks sorry for the length. I am just kinda being **** because this is my first new car and I am really excited. haha
