what are symptoms of have a bad steering shock/dampner? i was told by the mecedes tech that my car needs a new steering shock because i had complained of steering vibrations. they told me i had a bent rim and both tires in the front needed replacement. i got new tires and had the rim fixed the problems fine. but when i go over bumps or uneven roads the wheels seem to wander off in the direction of anything thats not normal on the street.. can this be due to the dampner? i have a clk320 2000 with the extended starmark warranty still active.
If your tyres and rims are OK and the alignment is checked there is only the damper left but that doesn't pull you an arm and a leg, plus, say, half an hour labour.
