'17 S65 AMG Cab - Wheel Issues

Have a '17 S65 AMG Cab with recent issues I've discovered involving the wheels -- if I make a hard left/right turn (90 degree turn), it feels like a sudden jolt/movement in the car with the wheel/axle definitely hitting up against the back of the wheelwell or the inside of the wheel chamber in the car. Did another hard turn coming out of my driveway this morning to an empty road and felt like the back of the car was suddenly shifted/slid over.

Anyone know what may be happening with this? What's the problem here and what should I do? Is it solely due to tread on tire (which may be wearing slightly thin and would probably need to replace in the next few quarters...)?

Thank you and grateful for all commentary and help, very much appreciated!

also, looking to get a dechrome and stealth to the car, possibly also having headliner lights (like the rolls royce) and laser jammer and speed radar. any suggestions on what best parts to use, best auto shops to hit up in NY/NYC area, etc.? Would love input and/or picture references, super thankful for any information!

Hey bud, I'm new to posting here, but I noticed you. are asking a W222 related question in a W220/ W221 sub-forum, you might have better luck in the appropriate sub-fourm.

Best of luck

Has the problem shown itself recently? Or has the car done this for a while?

The car is RWD, not 4MATIC, correct?

What service has been done on the car recently? How are the tires and brakes? Any reason to believe wheel damage has occurred?

Car is RWD, NOT 4MATIC -- and in relatively great condition with no wheel damage whatsoever or brake/chassis issues at all. Think of it as when i make a hard left at a slow speed (90 degree turn), it suddenly locks up the back wheels as if they're hitting the inner wheel well or are just locked stiff in place, which causes the back end of the car to completely shift kick and jolt the car as it slide/drag moves across until straightening out the wheel.

Movin' On Sound in Franklin Square does a lot of high-end work, Bentley, RR etc. Great guys. They installed remote starts on my S and GL and did an impeccable job.
