E350 steering shake

When I'm braking in our E350, I've noticed that the steering wheel shakes/shimmies back and forth while doing so,and it seems like it does it most with a light press on the brake pedal. What is this due to? We only have 6000 miles on it, the brake rotors should be warped yet if that's the problem any info appreciated. thanks

P-B-33.15/16a JAN06 Steering Wheel Twitch During Brake Application – Steering wheel twitch during slow speed brake applications, the hydro-mount or partially hollow rubber style bushings need to be replaced with solid rubber Torque Strut Bushings part # A211 333 11 14. The solid rubber bushings have an increased resilience towards deforming during suspension loading.
