Slight shaking
I forgot one thing for my tech to look @ maybe you guys can help..when i reach speeds between 47mph-50mph the car shakes a little and the steering wheel moves like its out of balanced..this was before the blow out and has been doing it for sometime before and after new tires and wheels were put on..could it be a control arm or sway bars??? only does it in the speeds i listed apove anyother time slower or faster then those speeds its like driving on pillows...any ideas?

I had the same problem with my old S420, what ever i did did not work.
ballanceing or even changing wheeles and tires did not fix it.
the car was stolen so i never solved the problem.
their was a thread that talked about is a few months ago.
going from memory i belive the problem is with body mounts that go.
see if you can find that thread.
it is a very anoying problem.
Good luck.
P.S. Sorry about your loss
