Hey Guys and Gals of the MBWorld,
I went through the arduous task (for me) of replacing both the front lower control arms and linkages. These items were replaced and torqued down, once I went to go take a test drive I would make it out of the driveway and onto the road where if I accelerate any speed over idle I get a flashing check engine light and the autobrakes or slows down to idle speeds. Any ideas what this might be? Both the front and rear airbags sink over a week or so which did not happen before the "operation" this is odd considering I did not touch the rear of the vehicle. I am thinking it has something to do with a sensor throwing the air pressure out of wack.

P.S. It's also a little crunchy when turning, perhaps an alignment issue, would a bad enough alignment issue cause this?

Sincerely,
Nate

 

What codes is it throwing when you scan it?

perhaps the speed sensor or wire is affected up front

 

That would be my guess as well, is the speed sensor still attached without damage to the wires?
