C63 - anyone notice vibration and shaking?
Hi, it's been about 2 weeks for me with my C63. One question is that it seems to have some vibration / shaking when driving, especially when going about over 70 mph. Where I notice it the most is the steering wheel, which seems to vibrate moderately at highway speeds. Is this normal for the C63?
My previous car was a Lexus GS430 which had pretty much no vibration even at 180mph, but maybe i'm so used to the soft ride of the Lexus that the C63 vibration feels awkward still?
Anyone notice any type of even slight vibration in the steering wheel when driving on the highway? Thanks!

Yes of course! Definitely warranty, I'll be going in next week. Just kinda hoped that they were all like that or something because the thought of a new car having wheel balance or some other issue already in 2 weeks of owning the car ticks me off. Maybe I've been spoiled after driving a problem-free Lexus... hehehe!

I can close my eyes and imagine my Escalade traveling at Veyron speeds. It doesn't mean it really happened.
When I switched to aftermarket wheels on my CLK, I noticed some steering wheel vibration. If you haven't modified your wheel setup at all, then something is wrong.

Hunter Road Force Balancing is the mac daddy of tire balancing.
It actually puts a load on the tire.

Clicking on the "yellow Sun looking icon" will tell you where to find this system. There's one near you.

Went to the dealer today to get it checked out. Turns out the front wheels were out of balance, and also the drivers side tire's air pressure was low. After balancing and setting the right pressure, no more vibration.
Very dissappointed though that a new AMG came in from Germany with unbalanced wheels.... sad...

Checking tire pressures seems like it would just be part of a checklist and a matter of routine.
