Hi Guys,
I have an 03 E320 (w210) CDI estate with 151k miles. I have just had the center bearing & gearbox mounting replaced & their is a strange vibration coming from the rear of the car when I accelerate from a stopped position only, it disappears after a few seconds but it also causes the gearbox to vibrate a little also.

This was not present prior to getting the bearing replaced. At this point I am thinking I may have damaged the drive shaft as the bearing had collapsed. Any thoughts would be very welcome. I am not currently driving the car as I am worried about causing further damage & I will be returning it to the garage once I get a chance.

This does sound like something not done quite right, although it is balanced at a slow speed this would not notice
