Hey all,

I have a quite concerning issue that I noticed a few days ago. If I am driving over say 40 MPH and I hit a bump in the road like going over a train crossing, the front end and steering wheel shake violently from side to side. It stops when I hit the brakes. Everything under the front end looks OK but I really don't know much about front suspension and steering; especially on MB cars. I am at a loss here. The only thing I know that is not right on the suspension is the nut on the passenger side shock is not tight against the shock mount. It is tight but there is a small gap between the nut and the washer.

Any ideas?

The problem has happened more than once.
