The 1992 250 diesel I have has quite light steering, presumably as the Merc is rwd, certainly lighter than the 1993 Prelude I had before it. There must defo be something wrong with it, specially if you never had similar pain in your previous car. As said driving another similar car to confirm and then I'd be back to the dealer.
Do bear in mind that MB have stiffened up their steering considerably over the years in response to the critisims that there was no feel. Your 1992 model will have a steering box and nice light steering (but to be fair, not much feel ) whereas the OP has a steering rack and a much more feel but also a bit less assistance.
