vibration problem with w212
Can someone understand what could be wrong or does somebody have any ideas why this is happening?

I have a vibration problem with my MB W212. Vibration occurs when the car is on a slope in the 'P' position. And while driving, when torque is applied. In the 'Park' position on a flat surface, there is no vibration. (The engine mounts have just been replaced.)

Any ideas?

What about transmission mounts?

I wonder if that has to with it, if it is worn, as in the pressure, inflation etc. Kind of a stretch I guess.

I see, in that case, I wonder if the different levels of wear is causing this? new vs old components on two axles.

Check engine and transmission mounts. Not hard to do if you can get the car safely elevated.
