I have been driving the 560 again for the past two weeks. My 2002 crown vic sport got t-boned (no one got hurt) and is in the shop so my wife is driving the lightning. I could have gotten a rental from the other drivers insurance but decided I would rather just drive the 560 SEL.
Still no SLS pump leaks.

But still have that little steering wheel shake at around 65 mph. It started after the first alignment from the local shop and I took it back a few times but they never seemed to get it quite right. So I bit the bullet and made an appointment at Mercedes of Sugarland and requested Paul.
I may have to wait a while but it will be worth it. I am looking forward to it and damn the cost.
That crown vic is pretty tough too. Got t-boned by a new silveradoh and did not do too much damage. Lucky thing I was not driving the 560 that weekend like I usually do.
Don't trust other drivers will see you; they may be texting.
