I have a 2004 ML 350. It shakes pretty noticeably when stopped and the car is in drive. It does it a lot less when the car is stopped and in reverse. While driving and slowing down I have no issues only when stopped. Any ideas what I should be looking into?
Thanks for any help

I've checked the oil level, PS level all vacuum hoses and made sure the filter and intake were all hooked up properly. I also ran a scan and have no trouble codes.

could be motor mount or transmission When you are stopped you have the brakes on and the engine vibrates more.

I checked the motor mounts today. The driver side mount is completely apart and the passenger side isn't to far away from failing. Thanks for your help. Replacing these looks like a pain in the butt

Did you install them yourself? How much of an effort is the installation? Thanks.

Yeah I put them in myself. It took about 4 hours. It wasn't as bad as everyone said it was. I had to remove the driver side wheel, wheel well and a few of those shields that MB installs. I was able to get the passenger side pretty easily. Also I wasn't able to get the engine mounts out just by jacking up the engine, I also had to pull the engine mount brackets off. It was worth the half day of work just to save the $650 that my local MB mechanic wanted to charge. If you have any more questions just let me know.
