Some Mercedes-Benz CLK430 owners report experiencing vibrations at a complete stop, which can often be resolved by replacing faulty engine mounts. These vibrations may occur particularly when the car is cold or after warming up, indicating that the engine mounts are not functioning properly. Additionally, some owners note that engine vibrations at idle can stem from a failed roller bearing or a seized belt tensioner, which affects the crankshaft pulley and may necessitate replacement if the rubber damper ring fails. Furthermore, vibrations may be more noticeable when the car is in gear compared to when it is in neutral or park, suggesting potential issues with the transmission or drivetrain components that warrant inspection. If you are facing these vibrations, addressing the engine mounts may be an effective solution.
