Hi.
Sounds like something is loose. need to find cause immediately.
Steering box is known to come loose from body work. Check torque on bolts.
You don't state mileage. What condition are your brake rotors in?
Do you have any play at the road wheel when the wheel is off the ground (vehicle jacked. take care)

OK,
I repeat. Find out what is wrong straight away! It may be something very important.
"disk rectifi with new breaks" Does this mean you have had new rotors, not just pads? Why did you do this. To try to repair the vibration or before the problem started?
Where did the rotors come from. MB? The amount of thick/thin and runout on the disk is very important. If the problem started after they were change i will explain further.
Are the wheels original eqipment? If not do they register correctly with the hub? Have the wheels been refitted correctly? Were the bolts torqued in the correct sequence and to the correct setting? The wheels can distort the disks if incorrectly fitted.
What condition are your tyres in? Has one been kerbed?
Since the car is 2004 what does the dealer say? You shouldn't have a problem like this.
