Car feels wobbly
Hey All,
the AMG just got back home for a strut/shock change from stock to Bilstein Yellow HDs. Anyways I noticed that the car is very "wobbly" when it goes thru certain bumps, (feels like as if u were driving a FR car speeding thru a bunch of bumps) car feels like the back is being loose. I swapped into the Yellow HDs because i thought that was the reason why the car was wobbly. The car is now not as bumpy but doesnt "handle" well. Any clue what I'm looking at???
Oh also the strut mounts for the front were replaced since it began to crack

did you have them check the control arm bushings? im about to order some Bilstein but gonna go with the sport than the HD as i hear they are better with lowered suspension. I also have a cracked lower arm bushing and leaked some oil, I will be replacing them same time

so, I topped off the brake fluid since it was a little lower, not TOO low, i just topped it off to the max line.
now the wobbly is gone on the way to work, gonna monitor it on the way home tonight.

yah, im gonna have that checked out. weird thing is, after i filled up my brake fluid, car is not as wobbly, i have a theory that the ESP module might have something to do with the brake fluids??

Maybe your car was off balance slightly and the addition of more brake fluid leveled it out? Seriously though I have no idea, but glad it isn't wobbling for you anymore...
