1995 Mercedes s500 w140 chasing vibrations upper control arm change VIP car 

Yes looks like a pretty cool tool for the job. I'm pretty sure I can rent this and will be doing other side soon. Thanks for the info

Thanks. I got the tie rod off today and did more of a vlog style video with the s600 mixed in. Well one part at a time

Oh good idea. These are not cheap parts. Especially if it's a top brand. Lower control arms are super expensive too

Wow thanks for the input. So my goalwas to order one of those but a lot of sites are showing back order on parts and I'm guessing production is haulted. I've had pretty good luck with the two Katlyn parts I ordered. They seem to be out together well. But febi Bilstein is always go to on parts I can get. Stay safe my friend

Wow that is exact problem I still have. I have not completely figured out the issue but I am going to continue replacing parts very soon. It is driving me nuts since I started to daily drive her again. Look for videos soon on this

@unkle fester I ended up getting rid of 99% of the vibration but adjusting my tire pressure. I know sounds crazy but I played around with it and found a sweet spot

Have that same problem on mine. Ever figure it out?

@@petescarport have you tried adjusting front wheel bearing to see if it helps the vibration. I have the same problem and about to replace upper arms. I’ve adjusted bearings and already replaced lower arms and it helped but still have vibration. I hope upper arms will take care of it.

Yo Winston good catch. So at the end I accidentally showed the pitch on the control arm the wrong way. I was going back and forth with my notes and when I did the torque live I had the control arm too low. I edited only the end to fix it. Thanks for watching

Unfortunately I have to say yes to both. I'm very very careful with it and have scratched it a few times through the film and you can see light scratches up close. Also it does look distorted in spots, but when clean it looks perfect from almost all angles.

I did a while back. I have a feeling my wheel bearing is bad but also now believe the vibration is coming from a bad driveshaft support bushing/bearing. This makes sense since the driveshaft will cause a resonating vibration like I have. I plan to do all the driveshaft stiff

@@petescarport thanks. I’m working on my moms car it s a 1999 w 131k miles.

@@ncautolink let me know how it goes. There’s a lot of things that can cause vibrations. Sometimes it’s simple and sometimes it’s more than one or something difficult like driveshaft bushings.

@@petescarport I’ve changed drive shaft bushing couple years ago when we changed transmission. It went out for some reason at 120k miles

Yes you are right about wheel balance. That is usually the main culprit. But I have had same vibration since I purchased at 114k and now have 124k. That's over 3 years of driving and 4 sets of tires. Plan is to keep changing out all suspension one at a time and document. Each piece I change it gets a little better.

@@petescarport I have two 140 and both of them have vibrations, on one after balance became better, but still some vibrations

@@azizkh8137 me too. Usually with stock rims you don't get much but I think once I change out the lower control arms I should be smooth

This could be issue. I'm going to do them on final step. I want to show each step and then show results.

Pete’s Carport Yp my was doing it at 60 miles in the freeway
