Vibration

I found that the CV joints get "depressions" and can cause vibrations when either accelerating or coasting.

It could also be the rear bearings making the vibrations when coasting especially with weight in the rear exacerbating the feeling.

The driveshafts could be a problem too if they have something wrapped around them like a plastic bag and such. I have found that out when I saw something hanging under the rear of the car and found a plastic bag welded to the hot exhaust pipe and then partially wrapped around the rear portion of the main driveshaft. This was on a CLK320 though but the same drivetrain setup in the rear.


Thoughts?
