2012 e550 shudders

Have 26,000 miles on car. Car shakes intermittently approx every 60-70 miles only when slightly accelerating. Dealer has installed new trans, torque converter and trans & engine mounts. Car is also a 4matic. No fault codes or ck engine lights come on. Dealer says it is in drivetrain but is at a loss as to what the problem is. Thank you, Steve

Bet you $1.85 it's the center drive shaft support bearing.

Good thing is I think in that car it's held by a split support instead of pressed in to the holder, so you probably just need the bearing only. On my W211 E500 it was more convenient to get the support AND the bearing, but solved a same-sounding problem immediately for 30 bucks.
