+1 for me too. smooth until 65-75 then seems to slowly better till around 80. Balenced my tires and was going to go back. I am going to swap my rears to fronts first to see if Its a bent rim or something..

seems like everyone has a different cure.
I had the normal steering wheel vibrations and i just replaced my Lower Ball joints and now its gone! so happy. Mind you after i left the dealership after they replaced it i still felt the vibrations but then they called me back because they forgot to put the hub centric rings back on.
once the hub rings were back on the vibrations have disappeared.

Its a combo of hub rings and ball joints for me because i had just the hub rings before with my 19s and they got rid of about 20% vibrations and the ball joints pretty much got rid of the rest.

aww well this just sucks i just bought my GS on saturday and i noticed this problem as well. it really bugs the ***** outta me. seems like everyone has more less the same issue yet no one has really found a solution

Got rid of most of the vibrations this weekend. Was having trouble finding hub rings that fit. Third set worked. Had to have them sent to Phoenix to be lathed down to fit. My wheels have the same center bore as a Mercedes I was told. The first rings were 73 mm,too big,2nd set 67mm,too big.New ones are made of aluminum I believe.

New ball joints and bushings, wheels, and tires fixed mine. Pretty sure it was the bushings.

Can any of you guys tell me what you are paying to have the bushings replaced? A shop quoted me almost 600 dollors for the work. Thats with me supplying the bushings.

Too bad you're not in Socal. I know of a shop that does it for $350 (labor).

Yeah that sounds like a fair price. I'll keep shopping around for a reasonable shop. Thanks for the info.

My car has 54k on it and has factory rims and new tires. I am thinking (hoping) it does not need any suspension work. I am going to try the rack tightening from the links that Brian provided!
