RicketyRick Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago When I drive over bumps, my 2015 C220D Amg Line, which has 85k miles on the clock, slides and kicks to one side. Wheels are in good condition; we replaced the springs. Even the alignment is acceptable. Would shock absorbers be the culprits? When I drive over bumps, my left rear tire slides to the left and my right rear tire skips to the right. The left is inferior to the right. This problem has persisted for some time; installing new springs and tires helped, but obstacles continue to cause instability in the back. Just what is it?

DaisyDrift Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago The dampers may not be working properly. I am curious as to why the springs were replaced. By the way, could you tell me what kind of tires were put on, and I'll assume the pressures are right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicketyRick Posted 6 hours ago Author Share Posted 6 hours ago The driver side front and rear springs were replaced due to corrosion and damage. The tyre pressures are accurate, and I repaired it for emergency purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicketyRick Posted 6 hours ago Author Share Posted 6 hours ago Apologies, but those were regular Goodyear tires, not runflats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaisyDrift Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Poor damping is what it sounds like. You can rule it out because your tires are of great quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicketyRick Posted 6 hours ago Author Share Posted 6 hours ago Forget it; it's still sliding leftward on bumps. The only part that's sliding is the back left. Ideal is on the right. I have replaced the rear tires, shocks, and springs but still don't know what the problem is. Maybe bushings are what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyDrift Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago I suppose so. Did the last MOT take wear into account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
