New 560SEL - Questions

Hi Folks

Just got a new white 1989 560 SEL. First Benz owned - have been a diehard Volvo man for many years. I have just a few questions about the car as of now (Apr. 18) and would appreciate any help.

1. While the Title and Vin come back to a 1989 420 SEL the chrome attachement on the back says 560 SEL. Are these interchangeable? All references online say the car is a 420 but the dealer and former owner insist it is a 560 SEL.

2. I have a very noticeable 'shimmy' or front end waggling as the car decelarates from 50 - 75 mph. It occurs when brakes are applied but all service records show significant front end work within last two ears. Four new 92004) tires also at 36 lbs. psi all around. Front end alignment or brake problem?

he car runs beautifully otherwise and except for a few small issues, power buttons, onw window won't roll up. broken headlight bracket, I am very happy.

Thanks in advance

John
