I have a vibration that is driving me nuts on my 1999 CLK 320. I have eliminated the wheels as the cause by trying 2 different sets. The vibration comes and goes, it’s usually at 40-60 MPH. Feels just like an out of balance wheel. A slight left to right movement in the steering wheel. I have changed the ball joints and complete tie rod assembly without relief along with balancing 2 sets of wheels. This car has only 38k and was driven on some very very bad roads in it’s young life.

I can feel a little play in the steering wheel when I turn it to right or left lock and the steering arm off the box appears to have a small amount of play. Should I attack the box play or look someplace else? It seems the play in the box is not present when the steering wheel is in the neutral (strait) position.

Thanks

have you tried the factory wheels 9times out of ten benz&bmw
when you go with aftermarket rims they give you that vibrating situation at mid speed 35 to 45
