You used to be able to get it from the on-line EPC - assuming that it has the original engine.

Re: [MBZ] 190D wonderment
That's almost like the experience I had with the S500 coupe last weekend. Youngest boy, who is the primary driver of the car, complained about a shimmy or vibration in the steering wheel at nearly all speeds. He also remarked about the car waddling when coming to a stop at low speeds. That is, the rear of the car seemed to move side to side as it slowed. I recalled experiencing both of these issues to some extent when I drove the car, but attributed it to the rear suspension possibly needing a rebuild. Interestingly, tire wear was perfect, with no indication that there was anything amiss in the suspension or steering. I took the car to get it aligned two weekends ago, but the shop couldn't break the right side tie rod adjuster loose. I got a couple of tie rod assemblies from our sexy parts supplier and installed them on Saturday. Took the car in for another go at an alignment on Sunday, with no problems. I spoke with the tech who did the alignment, who told me the rear was really out of whack. The printout showed this as well. Drove the car home and found no shimmy, shake or waddle. I texted my son after he drove the car back to school on Sunday night. It's like floating on a cloud!
