Unhappy scarey vibration

someone must know what this is - i have got a 190e and at high speed when i am decelerating the car shakes like its gunna fall apart like a clown car!! - i know very scarey. anyway i have checked the suspension rubbers in the usual twisting, pulling, stretching, wobbling ways and can't see anything obvious.
the wheels are all ballanced and the alignment has been done although the car still pulls to the left as it did before all this.
i guess it has got to be a rubber somewhere but i am hoping someone will know and point me in the right direction - literally.
lol


thanks

Your rotors may be warped. Are the bushings in good conditions?

maybe you mean the drivetrain rubber mounts via the prop. they are recent like months rather than years

Sounds like you may have a problem with your torque converter, possibly trans, check your trans fluid condition+level. Thats the only place where something really changes as you let off the throttle. I would start there.
