Default S500 year 92 Vibrations driving at 100km

I was wondering of what could be the cause for the S500 year 92 Vibrations felt not at sterring wheel but the body chassics driven at 100km but before 0-90km and after 120km at speedometer it rides smoothly.

I've checked absorbers using abosorber tester and check under chassics for engine mountings which maybe i thought need replacement.

Ive also checked the tyers all fours tyers and rims are in good condition.

Is there any other things that i need to know of check on the car ??

Agree with ARMENDS500. From my experience, this is always tires first, wheels second, withthese Sclass cars of the 90’s+.
thanks

I have heard issues arising from out of balance drive shafts. Something to consider.

If you've really got a drive-line vibration, you might want to consider replacing the driveshaft. perhaps the center support bearing is toast or the front and rear doughnut.

92-95 MB 500 SELhad a vib issue that was never really addressed byt MB, in 95 they changed the height and springing of the car and no one has spoken of it since. Lower control arm bushings, engine mountssteering damper, sway link and bars, and the drive shaft have been replaced either under warranty or by me. I have had two periods of time when I thought it was gone in 96 MB in Chicago had a wheel balancer that spun the wheel after it was balanced on the machine, they put a sensor on the axle. I found a place in Florida that claimed "on the car balancing" it was terrible The second best was after replacing the Michelins with Turanzas and using a Hunter road force balancer, which checks the roundness of the tire, I have also found that running them at 34 helped reduce the packing down of the tire. Of course mine seems to go away after the car warms up
