I was driving my dad's 1988 420sel yesterday and noticed that the steering seemed loose compared to my 1988 300e. The funny thing was that there seemed to be a lot of play when the wheels were relatively straight but once the wheels were turned a bit there wasn't very much play at all.

I'm wondering if this is natural for the 126 models or if something needs to be fixed/adjusted in the car? I don't have a very good idea of how the steering works on a car so I can't guess what it would be, but I know somebody out there does!

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
