steering wheel feels a little loose and jittery when driving. Steering shimmy?

What is your question?

I dont hear any clunks or any noises whatsoever. it doesnt feel loose or wobbly all the time. It always does after going over bumps. And sometimes when accelerating. It happens whether going fast or slow over a speed bump. Would it be my tie rods? control arm bushings? or wheel bearings possibly? What all should I look at?

How long has your 2006 Mercedes-Benz CL500 had this problem?

just bought the car 3 weeks ago. since i bought it though

Hello, all front and rear suspension and steering components should be thoroughly checked for looseness and wear. Additionally, a 4 wheel alignment should be performed. The angle of the rear wheels in relation to the front wheels can cause some unusual responses due to the physics of the frequencies created by vibration. It's not a "for sure" thing, but I have definitely seen where wheel alignment concerns cause rhythmic shuddering and wobble. www.repairpal.com/repair-shops
