Mounting and Balance?
I have a 2018 E300 Sport. Its not really noticeable on regular roads (residential) but when i'm on nicely paved roads like the highways and parkways I feel a little judder/wobble - which I feel like its coming from the front right side of the car. I notice it more if there is a slight curve or so when leaning in...
I don't think its to the extent where the rim is bent nor do i think its alignment issue. Is it possible that It could be a balancing issue? or any other solutions/recommendations before I bring it into the dealership?
It is pretty minor and if a tech took it out for a spin I believe they would say there is nothing wrong with the car.... so I want to have a good story/case before heading in.

Not sure if something like that would be covered under the bumper to bumper warranty. If it is, take it to the dealer. If not, just take it to a shop and have the tires balanced. When they balance it, they should be able to tell if the rims are bent or not. The BJ's wholesale club balances tires for $6 a tire so that's where I went last time.
