I used to experience a bending of the front passenger's side wheel during heavy braking at highway speeds. The wheel would bend inwards, towards the fender and the entire car would shake up. Inspection revealed worn out brake strut rod bushings. I replaced both bushings and the brakes now work perfectly. You might want to check the state of yours while you're in there. I was able to get them cheaply, $60/each from the MB parts guy.
