Problems, need help
Hi guys,
I am new here. I am driving a 2001 S320 in asia. Recently my car has develop a few problems and I would like to see if all the experts here can help me out.
1. My car is running with AMG monoblock 18' 245/45/18 front and 275/40/18 rear. I just replaced the tires last week and now using Dunlop sportmaxx same size. After replacing the tires, my car's right rear will rub sometimes but it never rub when I was running with old tires (Michelin Pilot sport) When I was watching the tire shop installing the new tires, I noticed that the rear hubs were quite rusty and they didn't clean it before mounting the new tires w/ rim. I am wondering if there is something to do with the rusty hub since it never rub for the past 2-3yrs.
2. The steering wheel will shake/ kick back sometimes when I drive fast ~60mph at some rough roads. I was thinking it was caused by the old worn tires, then I replaced them last week. Shaking is still present but it has improved abit. I had the ball joint, lower control arms etc... replaced last year and only have around 6000miles on them. Any one know what may cause this shaking/kick back problem?
Thanks alot for the help
