W203 - C270cdi Est Elegance - shaking

[mbz124]

Hi folks, I have a C270 cdi Eleg 90k estate, it randomly wobbles or shakes from the nsf when doing between 50-70. The front passenger always comments that they have just sat in a massage chair.

I cant see any bulge in the tyres, nor play in front wheel bearing, it will get worse if the nsf wheel hits a bump in the road. Wheels have been rotated to be sure.

I am wondering if its hidden play in the nsf outer tie rod??

Any clues?

Broken spring and/or shock absorber?

I recently had both replaced on nearside as found faulty after a routine safety check.

The springs usually break at top or bottom ends.

Check wheel balancing also.

as above, also wheel bearing excess play.
