Vibration

Thank you But it wasn't log nuts ,it's the 2 piece wheel Bolts around the wheel !









[I]Also look at this after balancing tires if you put new tires ,the lubrication they use to push the tire on the wheel ,is another problem will not xould cuse vibration because car havey and powerful atfer getting in car you accelerate or brake hard will cause the tire to spin on the wheel which is will throw the balancing off the next picture I show you what it means or how it looks. So be aware all AMG DRIVERS. [/





When cleaning up the wheel with the tire and you market like that after driving or working hard the tile will move from that Mark and that will cause vibration guaranteed

10 years ago, when i first bought my 2005 SL600, my ex wanted the turbo wheels in chrome. The dealer exchanged them for a profit. My ex then drove to orange county. On the way home, the right rear wheel came completely off on the freeway. Although i wanted to know evey detail at the time, 10 years later i can only tell you i was impressed with the car. My ex was able to pull over safely and somehow the hydraulics had kept the car from suffering any damage. Tel-aid showed up and i only found out about the incident when she was home safe and secure. Needless to say, i had an intense conversation with the dealer. To this day though i am amazed at the car and the safe result with no further damage to the car.

Are you going to send your wheels out to get re-sealed??? I only ask because you drive 90mph and that wouldn't be the safest thing in the world haha

Thank you, I don't know how I end up of the SL forums, and frankly I don't know how to change to the CL!
