| Description of the problem | I own a 2006 mercedes-benz cls amg. The ride has degraded and it now vibrates significantly. I took it to the dealer. They state all 4 rims are bent. This is probably true however, the car has been driven carefully and nothing has happened which would cause all 4 wheels to be bent. A search on the internet revealed others with the same complaint. The rims do not appear to be of sufficient strength to cope with normal driving even in california. *nm |
