Engine mount
Hi,
Ive discovered that the steering judder is caused by the steering rod from the steering box touching the exhaust downpipe when on or near full lock. Question - is it possible to shift the downpipe slightly? and is it possible that th eengine has moved slightly - an engine mount problem? also what should the minimum clearance be between the downpipe and the steering rod?
Does anyone know?

It is most likely a bad idler arm bushing. That is the one near the exhaust. There is an idler arm repair kit out there for the 190 that replaces the whole bushing and bolt. This causes lose steering response and sometimes wandering and shutter.
