I tried searching but maybe the site search is down. On several times, I notice the front end not feeling solid as in the past. It almost feels like the tires are bad or about to blow out. I inspected both and while they have tread, I can't see anything. I notice this at most any speed- kind of feels like running over bumps in the road. Could this be caused by anything other than tires? For example a motor, trans mount etc? I have an appointment for an alignment next Tuesday but now wondering does it make sense to do this with tires that aren't new?

My guess is bushings. Mine are going out for the 2nd time. Motor mounts are also an option.

How much to replace the bushings at the dealer? I have 58k on the odometer.

Thanks

I'm about to find out. My first set was done under warranty. I'm at 73K now.

I just found a MB parts shop online and looking at $130 in parts. I've done tire, spring, sway bar work and might just tackle this on my own.

Bushings and control arm look ok. Could this be shocks? I've only swapped springs out on my c280. How hard is it to replace shocks on front of c32 and
any special tools needed?

I'm starting to feel a lot more sloppy too and I notice that my wheels are starting to rub a lot more over bumps. I'm pretty sure it's just my shocks.

Good thing I just got coilovers, just need to get them installed. This should firm things up quite a bit.

the fronts should be relatively easy since there struts in the front.

I'm told it's the radius control arm bushing was distroyed/torn; one wheel out of balance. So, I'm having the wheels balanced, bushing replaced and an alignment.

dang..i guess i should start looking at my brushings too.

ScottW911

Yup. I knew it.

Anyone know of a company like energy suspensions that makes a poly kit to replace the bushings? I know kmac makes them but they're only for the camber links F/R.
