Recently I have change my driveshaft and also new tyres, checked balancing, alignment n camber.

But why does my steering vibrates at 120kmh onwards ? Could it be the old engine mounting I havent changed?

btw, I am using adjustable suspensions.

Yes, bad/old engine mounting can cause problem. Have have the mounting checked....Bring it back to the place where you replaced the driveshaft and ask them to check...Check your balancing too, just to make sure.

Hey there Bro... I've not been comin to tis zth for months... i poped by and saw this... so wanted to share my 2sens.. Engine Mount's Should Not allow ur steering to vibrate at high speeds.... it does not concern the Handling... are you using Sport rims? do u have Spacers? check the Balancing of ur tyres again ...if it doesn't help seek for On-wheel balancing
...and of all simple things ....Check your Tyre pressure....

Steering rack bush can contribute to the vibration.. but... only when it comes to potholes and uneaven roads... not on highways and highspeeds...

hi there. you mention that you been change your driveshaft, so i for sure is your rim bengkok. you try to ask your mechanic to check your wheel balancing (on wheel). because i have same case with you before.

A lot of speculation surrounded the new SL recently, so much so that I refused to write about it till something was confirmed. Didn’t want to portray ourselves as automotive paparazzi. So here is something that has been confirmed: Mercedes has made the SL uglier and slower, though power outputs are standard Benz ratings, that means insanely high torque outputs and modest horsepower, well, by today’s...
