Sloppy Steering on E500 - 55k miles
 

Hi,
The steering on my E500 feels very sloppy. Dealer checked the car out last week and found no suspension or steering linkage issues.
Here are my observations:

1) Car pulls to the right on perfectly flat surface. If anything, shouldnt it be pulling to left, since most aligments incorporate compensation for road crowns?

2) Car feels like a boat around tight radiused bends

3) When traveling at high speed, steering responds very poorly to left-right-left or vice versa changes.

4) steering feels tangibly lighter than normal and less connected to wheels.

Based upon the above, wheel alignment appears to be a culprit. How about steering box? Fliud is fine and pump was replaced last year?

Any ideas on what else to look for, if anything?
Thanks

Have you tried checking the tire pressure. I had pulling on my 300E and I thought it was suspension or alignment but I only had 10lb of pressure in the tire. Eventually I got a tread separation and it gave me a good excuse to buy some mxv4+.

Sagging springs can cause a car to handle squirrely. Check your ride height to specification.
