I would closely check tie-rod ends, ball joints and even the steering damper.

My '91 300E started doing this and it turned out to be a tie-rod end. I had recently looked at them and they seemed fine. On closer inspection, it was clear it was bad. At slow speeds no problem, but at higher speeds an oscillation occurred much like what you are describing.
