Steering while vibrating after dog bone replaced
I had my steering while up/down functionality break with the steering wheel in the up position so I came to the forum to learn that it needed the dog bone replaced. I called dealer and scheduled that replacement and it cost me $409. Now, ever since then, when I go over a bump or pot hole or just drive on uneven pavement, my steering wheel shakes/vibrates back and forth. I've had it back to the dealer 3 times and they can't figure out what is wrong.
All I know is, it was a joy to drive before that and now it drives like a damn pick-up truck. I am beyond annoyed but was wondering if someone here could shed some light on what might be causing this so I can tell the dealer.
They obviously screwed this minor repair miserably but since they seem clueless on what they did wrong, maybe I will have to tell them
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks!!!

NO LONGER ACTIVE
I'd keep going back to the dealer to make them fix it. Talk to the service manager and express your concerns. If that doesn't get any results, (assuming you are in the USA), contact MBUSA - they have a customer service feedback form on the website.
