W124 1995 E320 Play in Steering - Other Ideas?
On my 1995 E320, the steering wheel moves (has a lot of play?) on center. Even on the driveway with the car off, the steering wheel moves quite a bit. On a two lane road, the car feels dangerous to drive, and the steering wheel moves rapidly every time I hit a bump or pothole. The steering wheel can be turned left or right without the wheels even changing in the slightest position. I did a search on this condition and found that tightening the steering box might resolve the issue. Would the steering box cause such movements in the steering wheel on center? Is it something more serious?

the steering box can definately cause this. if your tires are wearing evenly that is a good place to look (the box).
