Steering wheel stiff/hard on right turning, easy on left ?!
Strange problem with w211, e320cdi, '04, steering wheel, hydraulic.
When turn wheel to right it's very hard/stiff. It's like there is not working hyrdaulic system, but when turning to left it's OK, like it is in normal mode.
Do you have any suggestion what to check ?

How does it feel when the front wheels are off the ground?
How does it feel when you turn the front wheels via the wheels (not the steering wheel)?
How about when the car is running/not running?

Either your rack or pump are toast and you need those evaluated

I swapped the rack pn 2194601000. It wasn't new, it was used with about 100k fewer miles than my old one. Ratio changed from 16.2:1 to 14.7:1.

OKAY . I GET IT. Thanks. You got a Used rack and surrendered yours from your car as salvage value. No problem. My car is RH Drive so I have one line up to get from London but I wanted to see if it was possible for a small part to repair mine. The one from London is about 1153.00 pounds stirling. Thanks for your posts. Kk.

2194601100 is the RHD equivalent of the LHD 2194601000 quick ratio rack. You can get a refurbished one for £245.
No I didn't surrender my old one, I kept it for spares just in case. Although at 188k miles it's probably worthless.
