MY03 W211 E320 Sport
Vibration Issue!!! Yes I searched...

MY03: E320 base model, 94k miles.

I did search, maybe I missed it. When I start driving my steering wheel shakes, 4 degrees or so. Once I reach 35+ the vibration gets worse. The Vibration is felt through the seat too. I had my wheels balanced and my alignment done twice in 3 months, didn't make any difference. The car is lowered and back on factory 16s. The vibration is better on stock wheels then on my 20s.

Possibilities:
  • Control Item
  • Wheel Bearings
  • Tie rod ends?
  • Ball joints?

Any suggestions? Insight?

Bent wheel, wheel out of balance, bad tire or tires. Also check driveshaft components. If don't have a noise along with it then its most likely not wheel bearing.

Sounds like drive line, not wheels. Could be a diff issue?

I would get it checked by MB as these things can get more serious and more $
