Loose Steering + Steering Vibration at 45-50 MPH

Hey everyone,

I've got a 2000 E55 Wagon, approx. 101k kms.

I've done a bunch of reading, and this post was super helpful:
https://mbworld.org/forums/w210-amg/...iles-hour.html

I've got both A) the vibration at 40-45 MPH, when the car is cold it's most pronounced, and b) I've got really loose / tramline steering (noticeable above 30-40MPH).
I'm not sure if these are related, or I'm just lucky and have 2 separate issues at the same time.

I'm going to get the rear subframe mounts replaced (haven't checked yet but guessing its worth a shot), and new rear tires. Is there anything else that I should get done at the same time, in case the vibration isn't this issue (and to save on labour and future headaches)? I've seen that it could also be a rear propeller shaft/driveshaft issue as well, so I'll look at that too.

I've already replaced:
  • Front upper and lower control arms
  • Front ball joints
  • Front tie rods
  • Front dampers (bilsteins)
  • Front sway bars and links and bushes
  • New front tires
  • Engine and transmission mounts seem to be okay and replaced before I got it

This is also a great thread:
https://mbworld.org/forums/w210-amg/...-bushings.html

Doing some research, the 4 subframe mounts/bushes for e55s have these part numbers:
2103507408
2103507508

But it looks like the second part is discontinued: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mer...507508#fitment

Anyone found them recently, or know the difference between these and the regular w210 parts?
