Hi,
My 190E 2.6 1990, the power steering feels tight. Replaced filter, fluid, no un-usual noises. It is just a bit tighter than the other cars I have driven including benz and toyota.
I have read somewhere that there is a some kind of nut that can be adjusted to fix the problem. Can any Benz guru help me with a pic where is the nut located and how to do that.
Thanks.

I also have very high steering effort. I cannot use one hand with palm to turn one revolution of the steering wheel and im a big guy.

I have 300E and my steering is relatevely light when cold but after car warms up it feels tight. I thought its normal but now I see other people have similar problem. I used to have same exact feel with my 420sel. Ive changed ps pump on 420sel and no improvement. Once I test drove another 420sel and steering felt very light. Is there a problem inside steering boxes and is there repair kit to fix it? Anyone have any info?
Thank you

Do any of you have over-sized wheels and or tires?

Have you replaced your steering dampeners recently or are they original?

Are you using MBZ power steering fluid?

I am curious about this as well.

Thanks for all the insput. I have been enlightened with following info:

It is normal with this model to have a little tighter steering compared to newer models and Japanese cars.
As it is not a big issue, I shall not intend to work on the adjustment nut (too difficult and no space to work).
Mean while I will continue to enjoy my Benz.

Please tell me about the ajustment. where and how please
