w124 230TE 1991 ....
I have a vibration that feels like a warped brake disc .. however it is not ?felt? through the steering wheel nor the brake pedal . The faster you are travelling the heavier the vibration . Is there any other possible explanation other than a warped disc ... bushes or anything else ??
I would guess that the vibration area is left & rear .
Wheels and tires out of balance.
Another possibility is worn suspension bushings... On your car it would be the lower control arm bushing/ball joint... so buy a whole new unit.

Flat spot on a tire?
In my case it was a bulge in a tire.

I had a severe shuddering when braking from speed on my 1987 300E when I first bought it in 1999. It assumed it was warped brake discs as that was exactly what it felt like.
I replaced the worn our tires with new Michelins and it has never shuddered when braking since. It rode smoothly so I don't suspect tire balance, separation bulge, or flat spot was the cause.
