1995 e420 slight front end vibration after 70mph
Did anybody experience this on any w124. The moment I hit 70 I get this anoying vibration in the front end. I've tried 2 sets of wheels and ballance them twice and it is the same thing. The car has only 5000 miles on it and everthing seems to be tight. Can something else couse this vibration. Can the engine and transmission mounts go bad if the car was not used that much?

Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks

Are you reffering to the control arm bushings? Do you thing that they will go bad if the car was not driven that much.

Thanks

Rubber bushings will tend to dry up and crack when a car is not driven for long periods of time. Could be LCA bushings?
