What do you mean steering dampner gone out? The wheels I had on the car previously where OEM 15" rims. This problem was not happening with them. Could the steering dampner have "gone out" because of the new rims/tires?

also, on my old 190e, I had plus size wheels/tires and crossdrilled rotors. braking from above 60mph would cause the steering wheel to shake alot. this was due to warped rotors. don't know if its the same thing as your situation but maybe that'll help.
