W126 front end vibration
This is a strange vibration. The car will see the mechanic tomorrow in the morning.
However, I wanted to put this up for discussion.
It's not a wheel or tire issue that vibrates continuosly.
The vibration is kind of lingering until I get to 45-50mph and running straight with the steering wheel slightly off center.
It seems to come at a very certain speed and a particular minor off center steering position.
It shakes intensly almost as if the wheel would fly off, as I reduce the speed or the steering position, it goes immedistely back to the lingering mode.
Something has a play there, it feels like a horizontal vibration, not vertical.
Well, as I said the car will be at the shop tomorrow, I tried to narrow it down, but the front end is too complex without a hoist and without tools to get the spring load off all the joints and parts.
It will be interesting to find that one ...
