[DML] Re: Steering column vibration when braking

["Welmoed" <welmoedj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Start replacing the bushing.
After replacing the bushing test for play in the steering (which would point to the rack or to the tie ord ends).
Play in the tie rod ends can be tested with a tire lever and a block of wood.

I assume you do not feel those pulses in the brake pedal?
(Would be strange after replacing alle the brake parts as you did).
