heavy power steering?

today is mercedes day!

another little problem i've been ignoring is the weight of the power steering. ie not light at all.

i don't think there is a problem with wheel alignment as all the wheels are very evenly worn and the car steers in a straight line.

there's plenty of fluid in teh reservoir. and the car has only done 139,000 miles.

any thoughts would be most welcome.

many thanks as always for your magnificent help

regards

justin

Assuming the belt is tight I would change the filter to be sure it isn't plugged.
