car shakes??
just bought the car a month ago. got the wheels balenced 2 times once by major world(queens) then by mb of smithtown. got new rotors and pads in front. so the car shakes from 50-80 pritty bad, where it will shake my empty baby seat in the back, it gets worse when i let off the gas. even on a week old paved highway it is like this. the alignment has to be done as it turns just enough for us to constantly hold it to the right. i think majorworld gave me some pos brake pads becouse they are already skweeking. has anyone ever had this problem its a 2006 s430 4matic it has 65000 miles on it. we love the car. thank you

If all the wheels balanced out correctly then start at the wheel hub and work your way in. One major problem I've seen on the boards are custom wheels or generic OEM look a like wheels. Sometimes the hubs are not the correct size. If you have custom wheels (rims) then check the hub (bore size) ring and make sure it fits into the rim snug, if not then you will need hub rings to close the gap. I guess you checked the car's history...no major wrecks?
