Steering wheel shake on 2005 E500
When 1st driving the car each day, escpecially on the freeway, the steering wheel shakes. Eventually it goes away.. might take 30 miles to do so.
I remember seeing something awhile ago about front control arm bushings.
Is there a TSB or something for this?
Going to take it in to the dealer next week. Like to be prepared.
Car was built 06 of 04 (if I remeber correctly).
It has some other issues.. some seem to be common.
Harsh 7G shifting.
Groan from brakes.
Low audio output on CD, CDC and AUX as compared to radio. Crank the CD, CDC or AUX up full max to get adequate sound level (for me at least), then switch to radio.. you'll see
Put same CD in my wife's Jeep.. zero problems with audio level so it's not the CD's I have.
Passenger front seat belt chime/light is on most of the time even though nothing is in the seat.
When you press the trunk release.. the thing FLIES open and it's pretty hard to shut. Probably a spring adjustment.
Also.. I asked this in the W211 forum but got no reply.
Are there multiple part #'s for the drivers side rear trunk liner for a E500 with NAV? I added a NAV drive to mine, got a liner, but it doesn't fit. Won't slide into the 'slot' on the rear liner.. has a 90 deg bend in it. Oh.. color is black.. no cigarette lighter in there.
I can't find any parts listings online to look it up.
