Vibration around 65-90!

Hey guys just picked up 2014 S550 45k miles from carmax. One owner.

The car is excellent! However, when I cruise around 65-90 especially around 85 I can feel the car vibrate so bad thorugh the seats and the center console. Is it the guibo that needs to be changed?

Car sat there for 1 week and they just replaced the brakes and balanced the wheels. However, the issue is still there. Not sure if they techs there are good enough to find the source of the issue.

Perhaps check the wheels to make sure none of them are bent. I remember I had a shimmer at higher speeds which was likely not felt at lower speeds because of the tire giving just enough cushion. Take it to an independent shop (not a dealer) and give them $50 to check all four wheels to make sure theres no degree of bend. I bet that's the problem. If it is - they can either repair the bend or at worst case scenario you'll have to purchase a new wheel (but it's likely they can repair)

It is either tires or wheels or brake rotors.

Take it to the local MERC dealer and have a service dummy take a ride with you at the speed this happens.

What the hell is "guibo"? Are you talking about the velocity joint?

Sounds like the muffler bearings, also check your blinker fluid levels.

Oh man......do you feel it in the steering wheel as well or just the other two spots you mentioned? Funny......I sold my 2014 car with that same mileage
