drivetrain wobble
My car has started to have a bad wobble. It feels almost like a tire is really off balance but I don't think thats the problem. The wobble is at its worst between the speeds of 19 mph and 32 mph. It feels like its coming from the rear of the vehicle. Any ideas what the possible culprit could be?

Check the tire balance and for tread separation. Next, check the center bearing of the driveshaft, and check the flex disks.

I got my SD for $500 because "it starting having a bad vibration when driving." Cause: a tire weight fell off.

Got my tires replaced and balanced. Now my wobble is gone but a new problem has developed. My alignment seems to be off because my car is now pulling to the right pretty bad. Is a realignment on a mercedes much different than on other cars? Is it usually expensive? Any tips or advice?

You may have gotten a defective tire. Check the pressure in both front tires, make them the same if they are not. Swap front tires--if the car now pulls in the opposite direction, one of the front tires is the culprit. To determine which one, rotate one tire front to rear, if the problem goes away replace that tire, if it does not them you know it is the other one. I would assume that your new tires would have a warranty, so it shouldn't cost you any more, hopefully.

Nah...you need an alignment. I swapped my left front to the right and vice versa. Had a bad pull. Drove a few hundred miles and now it is not pulling so bad. I guess it eventually wore that tire "in". I obviously need an alignment also!!
