I am experiencing a shake / wobble over smooth surfaces as if a wheel is bouncing over a rough surface at speeds up to about 35-40 mph, in my W124 cab. I can feel it both in the steering wheel and the rest of the car (eg, if I touch the door or a seat, you can feel the vibration).
On the motorway, there is a slight vibration but not as bad, again in both steering wheel and car.
I have had the wheels balanced, and the front and back wheels tracked recently. I went back to the place that carried it out and they implied that it could be my tyres. The front tyres are new 2012 continentals, the rear 25% worn continentals, although they have a 2005 date on them. The car has not been used very much this last year as it was in storage and then on a forecourt before I bought it.
Even though the wheels have just been balanced, using a Hunter 9000 (which I understand is a good machine) and they did not seem to be warped should I ask them to balance them again or could there be another reason?
