w211 vibrating

[parkscon]

Hi everyone I seem to have a problem with my 2004 w211, when I am at low speed ie 15-20 mph I seem to get a shaking vibrating coming from the rear this is especially bad when driving up a slight slope on a left hand bend does anyone have any clues what I'm looking for?

Check all the wheel bolts are tight

Strange speed to have problems. Suggest maybe check prop shaft for debris . Jack up wheels and spin by hand and look and listen. Swap fronts to rears if same size.check calipers and discs for debris

thanks I did wonder about the propshaft bushes but not sure what to look for when I'm under the car may well jack it up tomorrow and have a quick look.

Maybe worth making sure the tyre is not out of shape, and the alloy is not buckled.
