What could be causing my w116 300sd to wobble when depressing the accelerator? The wobble seems to worsen while the steering wheel is turned to the right and at the same time accelerating. The wobble disappears when you remove your foot from the accelerator.

I previously had the front of the car on two jack stands that were positioned directly under the cross member.

After inspecting the car, I discovered that the left rear wheel bearing is shot, the cross member bushings need to be replaced and the right axle is leaking.

I will be replacing the wheel bearings, axles and cross member bushings in the next few weeks and hope to resolve the issue.

Not sure what might be causing the wobble.


Any advice is greatly appreciated

Fix what you see. I'd replace anything that is easy when you open the project since having the entire suspension refurbished will make it drive like new and you won't have to keep going back in as sequential parts wear. Parts are cheap. My labor isn't.
