Tire balanceing with GSP9700

About what would it cost to Balance a140 500 Sel 1992 with a GSP9700? thanks. I had the engine mounts and trans mounts changed,the accumulators (2)changed and the Right rear shock replaced. The left one was not leaking. I have two new Bilsteins on the front this car ride soomth untill I hit a bump or something like that in the roadway and the car feel like a ton of bricks. I do not understand it
I have four new komos tires on the car and a extremely harsh ride , none of the inde`s seem able to balance the tires. I get a squeak from the left fromt If I am driving slow. I am disable and unable to make the repairs myself but I am tried of puting money into the car month a month any idears..
thanks.......

Sounds like you have multiple issues.

GSP9700: one shop I use would charge $10/wheel (balancing only) and another shop tries to get closer to $30.

Tire balanceing with GSP9700

well I had the tires balanced with the GSP9700, No change in the way my car drives. steering wheel still vibrating, I can still feel it in the seat. would the sway bar front and back cause this?

I highly doubt that either sway bar would cause a vibration. Instead, I would suspect steering and suspension components (ie: tie rods and balljoints)

Don't assume that a super-fancy piece of balancing equipment will automatically produce a perfectly balanced tire/wheel all by itself. I had to take a wheel BACK to a place after buying a tire for wifey's car and having it balanced on that machine, and the positions, sizes, and numbers of weights required magically changed in 4 hours. OTOH, the place that installed my Kumos has an old-fashioned balancer and people who know what they are doing. Perfect the first time.

Thanks I see that. I will return on monday to see what they will do. I have four GSP9700 shops in the town were I live only two Mercedes shops. but when they see a Mercedes pull in well they will hit you up, So I drove to fayetteville NC thinking it would be better no such luck.
The Mercedes shop I did use around here riped me off so much I do not trust anyone anymore. They had changed most of the front end when I first gotten the car. well anyway let see what happens.
