Problem overview

Some Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG owners report experiencing steering wheel shake at speeds above 50 mph, even after having alignment and balancing performed. These vibrations can often be traced back to wheel and tire issues, as new wheels and tires have been known to resolve such problems. Additionally, suspension problems may contribute to the shaking, and if the sensation feels more like a vibration, it could indicate the need for replacing engine or transmission mounts. Some owners have found that adding a steering damper can help mitigate the shaking. Furthermore, worn ball joints or tie rod ends may create looseness in the steering system, leading to vibrations, particularly when turning or driving over bumps. Addressing these potential causes is crucial for ensuring a smooth and safe driving experience, and if the issue persists, consulting a professional technician at a Mercedes-Benz service center is advisable for a thorough diagnosis and appropriate solutions.
