Hello all. I just purchased a 2002 C320 Sedan with 17000 miles on the clock. On the drive home, the steering wheel performed a strange lateral movement, moving slowly back and forth about an inch while going around long turns. This is NOT a tire balance problem. To me, it felt more like the PS pump (or the rack and pinion) was acting weird. I checked the PS fluid level and it's at the minimum cold mark when hot.

I figured it wouldn't hurt to add some power steering fluid, but I live over two hours from a MB dealer. What PS fluid works in the C320 besides the MB fluid?

Thanks in advance for your help!



By the way, I tried the search but didn't see anything that applied to my little problem . . .
