Wobbling sound on low speed . . .

Good day. I started experiencing this when I had a tire rotation and so I checked the tire pressure, they were all high. I lessened the pressure and it went away for a while and now its coming back little by little. Anyone who had the same experience? Please help.
I have been checking all 67 pages but have not encountered this topic yet.
The car, a 2k e430 sport. Thanks in advance.

Hey, E. Assuming you didn't do the rotation yourself? Check the torque on your lug bolts. They could be too loose or worse, stripped (from over torquing) which recently happened to another member (and it was the hub that was stripped, a very dangerous situation and a pricey fix). Until you check that I would be very careful about driving it, but if you are close enough to the place that rotated them take it back and make them fix it, the iac that the issue arose following the rotation strongly suggests a causative factor.

Take care and enjoy the ride,
Greg

This is a good point, look at the sidewall of the tyre and there will be a directional arrow, if the arrow is pointing towards the rear of the car then the tyre is the wrong way round. If no arrow then they are not directional tyres.

If they are directional make the store put them back correctly and refund your money...and avoid them in the future.

And put their name in here so everyone else knows they are clueless morons.

When tires wear out they loose some of their "smoothness" if I can say that. Their structural integrity starts to fatigue. E class is inherently sensitive to wheel shake and as Brabus put it sometimes has a "crashy ride". Just make sure the guys that balanced the tires didn't cut any corners and balanced them to 0. Good Luck
