Had my CLK serviced at an MB dealer which included the replacement of the rear tyres. The fronts had been replaced a couple of weeks prior.
I had complained of a vibration at anything above 40mph (getting progressively worse as the speed increased), so I asked for the fronts to be re-balanced whilst they were doing the rears.
After the service, they advised me that the centre track rod needs replacing (at a cost of £336!). I have no idea what a centre track rod is; surely there's only a left and a right?
I still have the vibration, which is really annoying and tiring (I have a 70 mile daily motorway commute). I called the MB dealer who assured me that all four wheels had been balanced and the vibration is most likely caused by the centre track rod needing replacing.
Is that feasible? Would there be any other possible reason for a severe vibration?
