[W126 Coupe] front wheel(s) shake

[Markus Meyer]

I think the service CDs list tests you can do.  When does this shaking
happen - all the time or only under braking?

Could be:  warped rotors, wheel bolts not torqued down equally/correctly,
wheels out of balance, tires out of round, problem in suspension, etc.
