Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou from Scotland , my e211 estate had this problem , after listening to all sorts of diagnostics and trying other things I found this video, was your description of the fault that grabbed me,, 30 to 40 mph under load,, exact same as mine ,, I changed the prop shaft that I acquired from a breaker yard and before I fitted it I replaced the centre carrier mount and bearing with original mer exes parts, and guess what , vibration has gone and she now drives like a new car, all done for approx £130 and a day under the car,, perfect ,, thanks again
That's why I uploaded this! To save others from throwing parts at the problem that don't actually fix it!
So we are currently test driving 2014 S550 and it’s shaking when we accelerate and get up to higher speeds
Bonjour, avez-vous résolu votre problème ? J’ai le même souci. @toccaradorceya
Hello, I changed all my supports, the engine and the gearbox. We checked the flectors, but nothing to report. And when I drive more than 100 km/h - 130 km/h, I have a linear tremor on repeat. Could you give me a clue? THANKS.
Hey there, I know it's been a long time since you made this video but I would like to suggest that when replacing the clamps on the exhaust system that you 'angle' the actual bolts upwards and to the side (or at 45 degrees) so that when they are tight, the protruding thread can't catch on anything - which includes your head if you're under the car. (been there, done that, which is why I learned this lesson........)
Damn, wish I would have watched this a year ago, would have fixed two problems. Great video and descriptions .
Literally saved my life I replaced transmission mount, motor mounts, wheel bearings everything on my s550 and this just saved my life
It was really that serious?
Did the car vibrate? I have one and feels like a vibration ever so often.
The front and rear sections of the driveshaft are factory balanced. 4:07 you can see there are balancing weights on the rear section of the shaft here. There should be more on the front section. If the front and rear sections are dismantled and reassembled on a different tooth of the spline the shaft will vibrate. It’s important to mark the two sections before separating them and reassemble as they came out of the factory to ensure correct balancing.
They're marked from the factory.
That’s good news!
Hi I have a e class 250 cdi coupe w207 .I also have a annoying vibration that really spoils the ride,after watching your video,it looks like i am in for the long haul.Great video i will let you know how i get on
Geeze MB still uses those 😆 I spent a week under my 57’ 220s back in late 60s with vice grips and pliers taking one apart that self destructed
I have a 2009 Mercedes S550 which appears to have the same vibration problems at 40 MPH and 70 MPH. I've changed transmission and motor mounts, the exhaust hanger clips but the vibration problem still exists. Now, I'll have the center support bearing and driveshaft checked and replaced. Thanks for sharing these tips!
How did your vibration feel?
Did it feel like you were driving over rumble strips?
I do have a R320 with some sound and small vibs at 45 miles and then again at 50 miles. It will start at under 45 and end at 47 and then again at 50 and ends at 55 miles. Its under common easy driving and under acceleration its mostly the same. Just a noise and some little vibration but the noise is very clear and noisy. What is it a drivshaft or or..... the sound is coming from under or in the front of the car. R320, year 2007 driven less then 150 000 miles (220 000 km)
Im going to look at it wery soon and try too sort it out but all help and tips is to make it eazer
@@rvarsigfusson6163hi, i think I have the same on my w211 220 CDI.
Do you resolve it ?
@@proxx4595 Sold it..... or it was sold when I was away..... got happy. I think its in driveshafts or it was in the front drive mechanism....... Some axle maybe.
Bro AWESOME video!! U have the courage not to only fix this vibration but tackle a new exhaust!!
Thank you sir for this video ! Mercedes Benz of Naples Florida is telling me I need a NEW transmission, but I think this is the real issue. I appreciate this video. God bless you and happy thanksgiving.
Hi my name is dominic you’re mom told me about you’re TH-cam Chanel keep up the good work mrs.curtiss
I really appreciate this video because I am going thru the same problem on my 2012 w221 S350 Bluetech. I have already discover some contributors to the vibration and those were the Inter cooler hoses. They were ripped and were leaking air. When I replaced them the car changed and became extremely responsive and fast. Some of the vibration went away but I am still feeling vibration when going over hills and when loading the engine like slight acceleration. I am going to replace the center support bearing and the 2 rubber flex discs. I love the car and its efficiency on fuel consumption.
Did it help?
Great video. My 2008 E220CDi has a bad shudder under load, and think it maybe prop shaft related (Car has 277,000 miles). Will get it on axle stands and take a look at the next opportunity.
Had a similar issue with my dump truck. Someone put the shaft back together out of time. Under heavy loads (taking off in any low gear) you could feel something shaking.
After having the brakes looked, they noticed it, took it apart and it fixed the issue.
I have a buzzing due to the gear shifter vibrating against the drive position / slot at the centre consol. The R170 230 SLK has low mileage and the vibration has just appeared and is there when maintaining speed at 2K rpm not at deselleration. Hopefully it's just a cosmetic rattle and bang like all the other plastic interior creeks and squeeks following new tyres all round and a vario roof maintenance hopefully. If not to find the reason for such a buzz is a challenge. Your video is very helpful and will give me many pointers thank you.
Hot damn dude! This is just what I’ve been trying to diagnose on my gl320cdi. Thanks man for the life saving video
Don't forget to check the front driveshaft on your GL! I just changed the front driveshaft on a friend's ML because the CV joint on one end literally EXPLODED. Check yours for play!
@@MBDieselFreak hi! I own a 2001 c320 w203 it vibrates when driving from 60 - 75 kmph and from 120 - 135 kmph. No idea what could be. It doesn't feel under the car, or maybe it does 🤔 i will do further research but i believe if it was the drive shaft it would vibrate at all times?
@@JL-wf2wp did you find the problem
@@Christian-ge1xn yes, the wheels were not properly balanced. Also the drive shaft makes a small knocking noise (that you can feel) when i let go of the gas on the highway
@@JL-wf2wp so your replaced the driveshaft to?
Hi. Great video. I think you have answered this question already but to clarify, can the centre support bearing be replaced without replacing the whole drive shaft? I know mercedes will suggest the whole thing needs replacing and more £’s 🙁
I have a c class c350e, shakes in the steeringwheel and the chairs in higher speed, could it be the same problem here?
Those driveshafts are dynamically balanced while spinning and while completely assembled. If the two pieces were ever separated and not put back together at the *exact same spline* it will be out of balance. That is likely what aged-out the u-joint.
That explains a lot for my case. I bought a w211 from a lean sale that was not starting and had been parked for a year. Found the problem to be a failed fuel pump, but a California E350 has a buried pump not serviceable so I had to painstakingly replace the entire tank. Doing so meant removing the exhaust and then of course the DRIVE shaft! So I guess in reassembly I must’ve NOT put it back together at the SAME spline! I have the very very slight vibration that I can’t figure out, and even thought maybe it was a clogged catalytic converter. QUESTION: how could I ever figure out where the proper point was? I would hate to do a trial and error.
@@gedionsamuel2256 I do believe there are small arrows on the meeting spot.
@@kreizmann2943 You’re absolutely right. Luckily when I rechecked they were aligned by chance. Funny thing is I ended up figuring out the slight vibrations main source to be the silliest and probably easily overlooked thing. I didn’t realize that when purchasing the vehicle that they had put on new rims and new tires on it, and probably slapped them on right there at the yard without balancing it. Hence the source: imbalanced wheels! 🤦♂️
Who would’ve knew.
Very informative video, and great info on diagnosing drivetrain vibration, and how to tell the difference between torque converter and drivertrain vibrations.
It's given me the info on where to start as I have a Mercedes V Class (you don't get them in the states) with the M112 3.7 v6 engine and the 766.1 transmission. At speeds of 25 to 40mph I have a noticeable vibration, always at the same speed, the vehicle revs, nor vehicle gear doesn't make a difference the vibration is the same, if I knock it out of gear the vibration goes. It is worse when I first drive the vehicle.
But after watching this it sounds like it's probably a propshaft issue than a torque converter issue.
Thank you for this but i'm confused! I have a year 2000 E55 AMG and it has a really horrible whacking/slapping/knock/rattle at certain load/rpm and it sounds like it's coming right from under the armrest where the secondary cats are, you can feel it rattling/knocking the tunnel of the car. But it seems to be more related to load/rpm rather than a specific speed i.e. if i am half throttle going from 2nd to 3rd gear it will make this horrid load slapping rattle, if i drive the car more gentle in this condition i can avoid it making the noise, flooring the car you'll hear it for a split second as it passes this threshold, half throttle it will osciallte/rattle for longer until it passes "through" the "zone" sorry if my explanation isn't making sense! I do not feel it in my feet more at the armrest... It does also vibrate the whole car at around 60mph but its more subtle and is felt through the whole car.... I really want to get it sorted out :(
Greetings from Sacramento
Would you liken the vibration you were experiencing to running over rumble strips?
"Or for those of you in Rio Linda, that's 165,000 miles." LMAO!!! My brother used to live in Rio Linda and I used to visit him every weekend. Great video. Would love to meet you in Rio Linda sometime for a beer.
That's a long haul from where I am here in Michigan haha
So I just purchased a 1991 500sl. The owner said the wheel bearing was bad. I drove car a few miles and felt a heavy thumping vibration at about 30mph. I checked for bad bearing and no play at all in any wheels. I decided to put in air and checked drive shaft for play, flex disc's and didn't see anything I then took it about 2 miles to store and vibration was so bad I couldn't drive. It sounded like wheel was going to fall off but was coming from center of car. I kind of knew it had to be drive shaft. Felt like driveshaft was smacking middle of car next to my seat.
Hi, i have a w203 c220 cdi. When driving 120km/h and more the passabger seat vibrate badly and the left wiper on the windscreen bouces. As i increase the speed beyond 120, the entire back seat vibrate and it had a loud noise coming from the back of the car. Really not sure where to start searching for the problem. I changed tar rod and inner rods. Shocks were recently replaced. My car us q right hand drive
Your vids on w211 are great 👍I just bought one here in germany and have the same issue, so this vid may help alot. Later on i may will change the Turbo, Dieselpump & Intercooler. Mercedes are weired cars...havin an 320slk to convert the bodywork to a 300sl. They are rough cars with stupid errors.
Thx alot for your videos 🌞
I don't see the link for changing the center support. ???
Hi please help me, my w220 s320 cdi has a terrible shudder at the rear left wheel under load/kick down l, but the speed is irrelevent, shudder occurs at any gear when i pedal to the metal at speeds of 40 70 or even at 140 kmph.
Flex disks were good tyres are new and balanced, wheel bearings are new.. no hums or other sounds just a hefty shudder like thr wheel is bouncing up and down on the road. Arms are fine too.
im having an issue with my 2003 e320 rwd where the car vibrates during shifts and whenever it rains hard all of the vibrations go away, its like the car is brand new again for a couple of minutes and then it comes back, do you guys think its a transmission issue or something else?
Thaaaaaank You!!!!!! You have helped me to understand what my E55 W210 is suffering from. You confirmed this with The statement regard The RPM has nothing to do with The vibrator but The speed! Anyways thank You! Keep this up! Good value for so many people!
No problem! i was excited to share what ive found after i FINALLY solved this issue haha
"Those of you in Rio Linda"...love that.
Bye any chance it was like a thrumble vibration. My is doing the same and is making me go greasy
Very interesting video! I have a 2013 W221 S550, rwd, that has developed driveline vibration that surfaces once I hit 80 mph and let my foot off the gas pedal. It's got 57K miles. Any ideas where I should start?
i have a cl55 2001 and the are no vesical signs of worn6 parts on the drive shaft but i am getting a shudder sound comming from rear on speeds from 40km to 60 km
Did you figure out what was wrong with your car? I have the same problem, I think its a wheel bearing but I'm doubting it
I believe it’s the control valves inside your transmission that’s causing the problem
I think your original shaft is off a spline, that would be the reason that one end is up.
and it probably causes the vibration and didn't need to replace the driveshaft.
Was shaking at high speed if you reduce then accelerate?
I've got a s320 w220 and I get a vibration it feels like it's coming from the middle or the back whenever I let go of the accelerator
Hi @MBDieselFreak how's it going? thanks for helping out a few months back
Got a new issue
I hit the 3,000 Rpm line and it jerks, it has full power tho
However, I get these codes: P2616 and P2195
Does this mean Crank Shaft sensors and camshaft sensors needs to be changed? or necessarily the O2 sensor? I doubt if the o2 sensor is causing the jerking after going past 3,000 rpm line
It still has full power - help, I'm brainstorming;/))
Hello, please I have this w204 c300 4matic and when I hit the brakes it sometimes wobble especially from 90-100kmph , what could be the cause ? My boy said it was the arm but I need a second opinion . Your reply is most appreciated. Thanks
There are factory alignment marks on both halves of that driveshaft.
Touched many points there man. Great video.
I have a W204 with converter shudder at low rpm, changed converter still happening. Can really use some advice or if you have any links about would be useful. Cheers mate
need help.. i got w210 e200 had vibration during pickingup session (example: during gear1 to gear 2 or gear 2 to 3) around 10-30mph just for a few sec the vibration occurs... can feel the vibration in the car from the arms rest... only vibrate at the session
the gearbox have no problems smooth change even high speed or lowspeed...
having had this issue for awhile.
Mines vibrates by the rear right passenger side it’s really annoying, what could it be ?😣
Good afternoon Mr Freak, have you or anybody figured out what universal u joint we can use to replace the original u joint? I've heard there are some yokes you can use with a universal u joint. Wanted to see if you have heard something about that? Thanks Mr. Freak for any help sir!
Does a rear driveshaft connect make a whistling noise ? That’s what mb dealership told I need to replace which I don’t think it is I have a w204 c300 2011
Excelent video!!!Does the shaft need to be concentric exiting the transmission?Mine isn’t,only concentric on the differential side
LOL I've done the very same on my BMW. 1.5 years. I have a half second shudder at take-off only. Happened once in second gear about 4 months ago, and that's it. All this after a transmission rebuild. I hate this problem. Happens every 3 days or so, sometimes twice in a day. Only at take-off, not higher speed. I think it happens under heavier load. Had guibo and centre support bearing replaced two weeks ago. Shudder has happened once since. Universals (?) were inspected and shown to be good. This video tells me it's my torque converter. Any idea what it could be? Coil pack is good, cables and plugs replaced. Sporadic shudder only on take-off.
Huge issue with those vibrations... W220 S500 RWD only. Before couple of years i replace the center support bearing, because it was shaking terrible when i hit the pedal. After that everything was fine. Year later, i notice that there is new vibrations coming from under the car at speed from 80kph to 130,and they are not constant?!?! Something like a resonance, 2 seconds vibrating and 2 seconds not... wth.
I've changed almost everything,both flex discs, new support bearing again, motor mounts, everything worned on the suspension, wheel balance 4 times, just everything suspicious ,and the f*cking vibrations still remain...... There is no strange noices from the wheel bearings, nothing!
Next thing will be both axles with their CV joints and i hope that the case will be closed... Pls help,if you have something in your mind about. 🙏
I have the same problem in my E300 2012 , so i only have to change the torque converstor and its solved? Thanks
Any advice on how to get the shaft removed from the front transfer case? I have tried pb blaster and a mallet. The damn thing is in there good and it's so round and smooth I have no idea what tool might work.

Hi, I have a clear resonance from the back of the car after changing the transmission. The resonance is heard at about 1100rpm in high gear. 1500rpm resonance disappears. The car is S203 200cdi -2004. Can you help?
Hello I have a 05 c240 4matic. I get vibration when I’m stopping or stopped and I have to ease it to a point where it doesn’t vibrate without hitting the person in front of me. The vibration is getting worse. Please help me!
Hey MBdieselfreak! i love your vids, but i"m also having some issues with my E220 w211, i love it and im almost there is terms of suspension and overall ride quality. But there is still some issues, when driving over the road the car most of the time takes the bumps and road nicely, but sometimes its coming in the cabin so damn hard and its not even a big bump in the road.. , its like there is nothing to absord it? yet my MOT was perfect, Mb benz can't really find anything, lower controll arms,shocks are replaced ( only the shocks, not the springs), new tires ( good psi, not sport tires, just comfort) .
perhaps this could help identify it?
i feel stuff on my feet on the floorboard and near the pedal.
an Mot said my right side was a bitt hard but overall perfect MOT i ever saw.
Steeringwheel is starting to squiek en knock a little bit, perhaps that's just the tie rods or something.
I"m am replacing the sway bars and bushing assembly next week at the official benz dealership
The discomfort this brings me is just not fun :)
Any idea what this could be? or what i should be checking or replacing anyway on a 262.000Kilometers E class.
Also my engine is making a Huge tons of noise when accelerating full speed , didn't always make that noise, its like mettallic sound? i checked bolts and stuff but its all firm, my mounts do look bad but my dad said they replaced that a few years ago, so idk
Thank you for you're response if you can, would be amazing if you know what this could be or give me a clue :)
PS: you should do a video on high milage w211 on what to replace for sure at certain miles or age.
Hello Sir, I was wondering if you can advise as I have w211 e240 03 and it vibrates on rpm 1500 : 2000 before it shifts. Any idea what would that be?
thanks for the video. I know that exhaust is heavy, but try doing the same for an s420. lol My question is in another area, . . . how large is your garage? I need to build one and I think I will go your way,. It looks like a pole-barn, but I could be wrong.
you re a genius thank you so much dude
Mine shakes only if i drive it normaly, maximum 35% of gas pedal, especially uphill, even vibrates sometimes, but if i give it more gas it goes normally no more shaking or vibrations, and all of it comes from the back of the car, should I change differential oil ? Or what shall I do ? P.S the automatic gearbox works very smooth
Did you figure out what was the problem with yours?

Hello. Do you have a idea. My s 550 2007 with 290 k km has a lot of Vibration from 60-160 km/h. My gearbox is new torq converter too.
My Front axle Are all Wishbone, wheel bearing and all parts on the Front axle is new. Driveshaft hardy disc and middle bearing is new.
New Conti tires new rims with balans.
Problem with the Vibration is the complete car and steering Wheel shakes.
@eegperformance9212 if you have a shake in the steering wheel, there is something out of round that's attached to the wheel hubs. Whether it's brake rotors, rims or tires, something is for sure out of round.
@@MBDieselFreak brakes wheel bearing rims tires Are all new. Problem is the shaking from the complet car. Its beginning 60-160 km/h. Do you think this comes from the driveshaft ?

Hi there, i have a W211 320 cdi and i'm steuggling on Findling the Problem of Vibration.
At low RPM if i try to accelerate, the car vibrate.
I Tool down the driveshaft and It seems like someone replaced the Center baring but i don't know if it was put on the same point between two piece.
I replaced the flex Discs, the Transmission Support, the Motor supports but the car still vibrate.
I'm thinking on buying another one and try it
So what was the problem? I have the same issue on my 2012 e350
you could've got it up with a lifter.. the ones that lift the engine when replacing engine mounts.
Also torque. according the Benz star tool and checks my specs and things are like they should, but sometimes on a cold engine i have lots of torque but sometimes i have not much torque at all? and i don't know what's causing this? any idea?
Hello, I was wondering did you felt the vibration also in your steering wheel?
I have a similar thing with my BMW M4, but the whole car including the steering wheel vibrates especially under load from 60 tot 80mph when i'm cruising at those speeds i have i minor vibration. I'm going to a differential/driceshaft specialist to measure en check those things, I hope that this is the issue...
There r alot of things but vibration is usally the caused by unverisal joints or flex disk, maybe the support bearing
@@azargelin my vibration was caused due to broken/worn out differential bushings 😬
@@joeyboss3029 nice atleast u figured it out
I have a problem when going uphill I can hear loads of vibrations slow speed
Why didn't you just remove the hanger grommets instead of the brackets🤔and did you heat the flange coupling
where did you find drive shaft/2009 mercedes e320 bluetec w211 that is the car.
Mb I have a mint 78 123 diesel that has a vibration from about 20 on up it comes in and out and is worse some days.brakes and rotors new ,tires are brand new. 100k on the clock automatic. The shake isn't terrible most the time.
I can feel it in the shifter and body
Change both the engine and transmission mounts, as well as the driveshaft center support bearing. If you've never changed these parts, I guarantee they're bad. Also check your flex disks on both ends of the driveshaft for cracks and exposed fibers. If they're tearing, replace them.
Thank you I'm getting under it now to check it out. This is my first mercedes and I suppose I'm looking to deep into things lol thanks!
And thank you for the fast response
Hey Mr. Freak great Video! I've got some light vibrations on my 212 E 350 CDI 4Matic, it is only when I start to drive after a longer stand still (at least a few hours) and goes away after a few miles. I've had this issue with different tires and wheels. Do you have any ideas? I would love more diesel content driving and reviews! There's too little Diesel car content on TH-cam!
i know its been long time ago, but i have the exact same problem right now, have you fixed it?
I live in the Bay Area and own a cl550. It seemingly has the same problem are u open to working on it for me. And what would be the charge?
Excellent video
Thanks
Hi MBDF, My mb rumbles/resonates when I cruise at about 80 km/h and it disappears above that or below that speed. Can you kindly suggest what to check first? I have balanced all wheels and the steering wheel doesn't vibrate. It is only a that speed. Would appreciate any valueble comment.
Hi, i have the same problem, do you resolve it?
Thank you for the detailed video. I have a 2013 S350 4 matic Diesel with a vibration I can’t figure out. It only occurs when braking at high speed- above 70mph and also occurs when the cruise control tries to slow to maintain 70mph when the car is going down a hill faster than that. It has brand new MB Brake rotors and MB pads all the way around. Wheels and tires are balanced properly and runout of wheels and brake discs is proper. Wheels are torqued properly. It has new flex discs. What could be causing this vibration that is only evident on deceleration either with brake application or engine braking via cruise control? No vibration while driving in any way at any speed…any ideas? Thanks!
My 2007 S320 has the same vibration as yours when braking at high speed - did you solve the issue?

learned a lot. I have a slk and much of your info applied. thank you!!
Why didn't you just pop the exhaust out of the rubber hangars?
its actually MUCH easier to pop out the 2 bolts out of each hanger than it is to pull the rubber off.
If looked after what sorted of problems on om642 engine to expect? Or what tends to wear away if you plan on keep one
Really once the oil cooler seal problem is fixed, and the swirl flap system is eliminated, the om642 is a pretty reliable engine in of itself. You may get an oxygen sensor or DPF pressure sensor fail, bit that's rare and not terribly costly to replace. The ML and GL platform are a bit more expensive to maintain in the long run than the E class, but they come with their own inherent advantages that weigh that out.
Were are you at so I can bring my car to you

Motor and transmission mounts..
Mines just vibrates in the front wheels and steering wheel. Mainly the right passenger wheel. Sometimes ata low speed but mainly at around 60-80mph its manageable bit extremely annoying. I. Thinking its the wheels bearings. Because i have new everything on suspension other than wheel bearings. New rims new tires. Bearings look old anyways. But it would be nice to positively know to get rid of this problem. Its a mercedes i shouldn't have to be dealing with this as much as these things cost new. Im buying 1 more mercedes and that's it im done.
G wagon and im moving on to Toyota.
We’re is your shop I need to do the same job in my car... I have vibration just went I accelerate. I’m about to change my engine mounts and transmission to see if is gone
Did you fix the problem ?
I'm not trolling or being negative, but why would it take you two years to fix this issue? It took me a weekend to replace all the same parts on my W123 and I'm currently changing most of the rubber parts on a W116.
Because I had already changed the center support bearing when I bought the car, and had no reason to assume the driveshaft itself was bad.
@@MBDieselFreak i see, is having a driveshaft shop replace the universal joint cheaper then buying a new driveshaft? I see they're still available for the W123 and the cheapest replacement driveshaft I found was on rockauto for about $500
@@a_life_painted_with_color if the ujoint itself is actually bad, then yes. However, that's incredibly rare on a Mercedes. My issue was that the previous owner changed half the driveshaft, so the two half's were no longer balanced even when the alignment marks were lined up.
@@MBDieselFreak i see, thank you for replying back. There's not much information out there regarding the universe joint on these older diesel Mercedes so thank you. Probably because you can't replace them. I have a 1985 300D, 1980 300SD and a 1991 350SDL. I'm currently going through the 300SD for my son. Not many videos on the W116, unfortunately. But very similar to the W123 in almost every way. It's the little nuances that sometimes I get hung up on and then I start to second guess myself. Anyways, thank you again. More information is always welcomed, especially on these classic cars
How about light?
Thanks bro!
Does 2012 C350 RWD and AWD have same driveshaft
I might be wrong, but if you look and verify the drive shaft comes out of transfer case and the transfer case output is closer to rear axle than the transmission output; length is going to be different.
