Front End Shake

[joey.dale]

I have searched and understand that w126's are known for being sensitive to tire balance and lose parts, but I have a bit of a strange symptom. Upon light braking, the front drivers side tire feels like it is going to shake the car apart. If I brake a little harder it goes away. At first I thought warped discs, but normally if your brake harder they get worse. This is repeatable at most speeds, and the shaking slows down in relation to the speed of the car. Any ideas?

Thanks
