C320 Steering Resistance/Feel

I am curious to know what everyone's steering is on their C-class. I have an 01 C320 with the Sport package and I have to admit that the steering feels a bit hard. In my friends 05 ML it is rather easy to turn the wheel. However, in my 06 Charger w/ the Daytona package, the steering does feel more "firm"

I just want to make sure it's normal in this car, and not an issue with the steering.

It kind of feels hard to me as well, although you might want to do a power steering fluid flush, that will help a bit.

That is correct for your car if it has the standard PS & not Parametric fitted. People find the W204 PS too light after W203.

Benz was trying to make the W203 sportier than previous models so they did not overboost the steering to give it more feel.

THE C350
I would recommend a flush no mater what the fluid that came out of mine vs what I put back in was amazing. Also I would buy the OEM/OES fluid as you don't want to burn out a pump. It is an easy job we have a DIY guide for it around here somewhere.
