G500 steering whipping
 
Anyone with a G500 that has excesive steering shake at 56-60'ish mph when cold? Steering wheel will whip back and forth 1.5" each way and it is dangerous. Just had new rotors, pads, steering shock, new bearings replaced at my local MB dealer and that did not fix the problem (non-warr.). Problem does not exist when warm and humid or raining.....only cold starting at 60F or lower. Since I have only days left on warranty, the dealer just yesterday said they would replace the drag link? I suppose we could just keep going and going. I suppose if it was the front drive shaft or axle, I would feel it at other speeds and if warm or cold out.
If anyone has had a similar situation, I would like to hear................Bottom line...for a $86,000 dollar truck, I should not have these issues, period. Ive seen Kia Sportage for 1/3 price with no problems drive same terrain that G thing does on you tube.....but not as classy thats for sure.

Yep they finally put a steering stabalizer on mine and it mad a huge difference but if you have rough roads it will need to be adjusted every few months. hope that helps
