BAD VIBRATION?

I am having huge issues with a bad vibration seems to be coming from left rear but whole car shakes. Cold start up you can feel engine shaking more then 1 week ago before pulley,software,t body install. Funny thing you could drive and it would be ok then drive a little hard then bad vibration. Had new bearing in rear knuckles installed at benz. All brakes done, tires rebalanced. Can a crank balancer vibrate the whole car?

Does the vibration occur only when the car is moving?

If you're complaining of vibration and engine shaking and have done all of the above, I suggest checking your motor mounts. For a 2005 it's not all unlikely that they have failed.

I hope it works, but please check before you go solely on my judgement. I'm not an expert by any means lol.

Benz tech pulled my MHP pulley (harmonic he is saying it is bent) Going back to factory, and putting ec sc pulley on instead. And some MBH headers.
