Many of us on this list do the same as you regarding parts replacement.
I was thinking that the unmatched shocks might be causing the vibration.
Another question: How old are the rubber mounts; engine, transmission,
differential? Many vibrations can occur that we aren't aware of if the
mounts are in good shape. When the mount (mounts) are bad, all sorts of
vibrations can become noticeable. I've had that happen more than once
during the 40+ years I've been driving Mercedes.

Gerry re: replacing shocks in pairs yes, but most shocks don't cost 600 dollars
each, or whatever these shocks seem to cost, and I didn't have much money at
the time. the one I replaced was clunking when I went over bumps. the other I
left for another day. I'm not sure what a normal life span is for those units.
they are not normal shocks.
some would say you should replace the whole car every time something goes
wrong, but I try not to listen to them. Pretty much everyone I know here in
LA leases a new one every year or two. it is expensive, but getting anything
repaired here takes more time than I generally have available. so I try to do
things in bunches.
