Hi all wonder if someone can help
I have recently purchased my first merc an 05 C220 CDI estate (Now got a lab puppy !) avantgarde, with sports suspension.
Having now had the car for a couple of months it has become increasingly noticable how heavy the steering is. This has resulted in aches and pains in my hand an arm from having to what seems fight with the heavy steering.
I have taken it back to the dealership and they have done the following
Checked tyre pressure
Done Tracking
Replaced front wheel tyres
A friend advised that it's a Merc feature that the cars are designed to always straighten up ? This is fine but it seems the car is fighting with me every time there is a bend in the road ?
Does anyone know if this is a problem with all 05 C class mercs ??
Is the power steering not doing enough ??
I stopped a fellow merc c class estate driver today and he said that when he bought his from new he had the dealership fit a device that makes the power steering work harder at low speeds.
Does anyone know what this is and how much it costs ?
Is anyone aware of this issue and know of some form of fix
Thanks, any help would be appreciated,
