please urgent help shaking at 80kmph

hello every body i need your help please,

My issue is, and has been for a while, that when travelling about 80 - 110kph, and when the car is under load (like travelling up a small hill) the car develops a horrible vibration akin to the wheels being out of balance. The vibration comes through the seat of the pants as opposed the steering wheel.

thank you very much all in advance for your responses i really apreciate them big time.

happy holidays.

A lot of W210 owners complain of vibrations. My car has one right now as well. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any consensus on what is causing them; probably because there are multiple sources of potential vibrations and it is difficult/impossible to know over the internet.

In my case, neither my mechanic or myself has been able to accurately diagnose the problem.
