|  Steering Wheel Vibration I have just make a booking for my 350slk car to check up on the steering wheel which has a slight vibration when I drive slow and turning left and right. Checked the steering fluid and it is at the exact level required. Anyone else have experience this? No ! this is not a hand massage option !!!  |

 | This can be anything from a failing steering pump to a damaged tire. Its really hard to comment on stuff like this you really need to get hands on with it to figure it out. A good tech should be able to tell from feel what's causing the problem.

| Yes my car is booked in on Jan. 21, 2008 by the service manager to be checked. I hope it will be a warranty issue. I suspect it is the pump. I'll post results. |

| I noticed some vibrations on my steering wheels right around 70mph. Under 70mph (60, 50, 40, etc) or over it (80, 90, 100, etc) and its not there. I wonder if this is something that's always there or I just notices now since I 've been in riding in cars that are much softer tuned than AMGs (Lexus) lately. |
