You need to be more careful what you suggest people do to their cars when clearly you do not know.

AS everybody is correctly saying, the steering wheel got to the wrong position in the first place through badly adjusted tracking.

The tracking therefore needs to be returned to it's original position.

It is vital on Mercs with the recirculating ball steering box that the straight ahead position is maintained because the self adjusting aspect is at it's most effective in the straight ahead position.

You must surely know and have felt when the car is parked and steering is at full lock there is plenty of play in the steering wheel.

If you change position of the steering wheel by removing it and replacing in a different position on the splines, you will end up with a straight ahead wheel, BUT the steering box will now be at a permanently wrong angle and there will be more sloppiness in the steering feel than normal.

Your car must drive crap !!!!!! Get it sorted, you will be pleasantly surprised.
