Finally decided to replace the nearside front wheel after about 8 months of annoying vibration in the steering wheel. I hit a pothole a couple of months after buying my car and I thought it had knocked it out of balance. I got sick of it after a month or two though and took it into "Ken the tyre man" at the dealers for him to check it out, turns out there was a flat spot and he tried to balance it out. Wasnt a great success though, ok up to about 60 then got progressively worse until 80 - 90 when there was a hand numbing tingle in the steering wheel and a distinct droning noise.
Upshot of this was a bill today for 1 nearside 18" AMG £445. Needless to say the hole was filled in shortly after I hit it . So if you see a black CLS slaloming around Cheshire that'll be me avoiding the very many potholes still remaining.
