Possibly. When I had mine aligned a while ago after replacing the boot on the 
end of the steering rack along with a tie rod, the tech told me it needed 
mounts. Looks like a pig of a job, too. Mine doesn’t exhibit any of the issues 
you describe, so maybe mine aren’t as bad?

Mine developed W123 levels of steering wheel play shortly after I bought it.
And then last winter it developed a nasty front end shimmy, but only on
one particularly unsmooth road.
Rubber steering rack mounts?
Mitch.

It was involved in a collision that blew the seat belts, but it sounds
better to say somebody backed into it in a parking lot.
