Re: 164 vibrations

Well, guys ( and gal or two) I've joined the parade. My '91 164L's 
steering vibrates. The wheels have been balanced, rotated and rebalanced, 
but the vibration remains. Could worn CV joints have any effect?--Mine 
has 108K miles on it--what kind of mileage do the other "vibratees" cars 
have on them?
