Low speed steering stutter when braking.

Anyone have this problem?

When coming to a stop or nearly stopped, u can feel the steering stutter slightly. When u let your hands off the steering wheel u can actually see the steering wheel turn itself slightly to one itself while the vehicle is about to come to a stop.

It is almost as if the left and right caliper is clamping with a difference force and one side stops faster than the other.

"P-33_15-16 NOV 04 Steering - Steering Wheel Twitch on Low Speed Braking"

Found this while i was browing through the TSBs.

Anyone have a copy of it?

BTW this is on a 2006 04/05 built E350. WHY does my car still have this problem when Mercedes knows about this problem. Quality on the up. RIGHT.......

My car is doing the same thing. Most people i've asked will say that is a sign of warped rotors. Dealer swears rotors are fine, but another shop says they show signs of being warped. Will take to another MB dealer and see what they say.

Calls for the replacement of hydro-mount (hollow) bushings with solid rubber bushings. Even though the bulletin mentions 2003 through 2005 I would still check it out since your car was, in fact, built in 05.
