Motorway vibration only when giving gas

[M.A.94]

Hi,

I have a 2000 W210 E320 CDI. I am getting severe vibration driving at speeds north of 60mph. I have ruled out wheel balancing and prop shaft bearing etc as the vibration only occurs when I have my foot on the gas pedal, as soon as I let go of the accelerator the vibration goes.

So for example 60mph on the motorway with my foot on the gas pedal the vibration is there. 60mph on the motorway with my foot not on the gas pedal there is no vibration. Anyone had similar symptoms in the past and able to point me in some direction.

thank you mate. I’m going to jack the car up in the morning and check everything out. I will check out the thrust arms and let you know how I get on. Another thing I wana check is the gearbox mount.
