Well, an update on my situation here. I didn't even realize how worn the front tires were on the car, that was the problem it seems. Decided to get a whole new set of tires, and the vibrations are almost completely gone.

Took the car to an indy this morning, and they pointed out the wear on the front tires. We also looked at the shocks, and it seems they're pretty bad, too. The front end bounces around like a hoppity horse, and it's quite loose going over speed bumps - car "wanders" a lot, which seem to be classic signs that it's time for new front shocks.

What would I expect to pay to have the front shocks done? Mine's a 4-MATIC, if that makes a difference. I've also read some info. on self-leveling suspensions. I don't think I have one of those, but how can I make sure? Are the KYB shocks still as crappy as ever?

The shop said that they needed a special tool to replace the shocks. They didn't have it, so they said I'd have to go to the dealer to have it done. Is that right?

Thanks for the continued help!

-Michael
