2001 Mercedes-Benz E430
Steering difficulty
When I drive my E430, it seems to need constant adjustment in the steering wheel. The steering seems almost too loose.
In my Lexus, it can almost be driven with a finger, but a higher speeds, I sometimes need to use two hands to keep the Benz straight.
As this is my first Mercedes-Benz, is this a characteristic of the car or is it unusual. If it is unusual, how can it be rectified?
Thanks for your input.

Maybe you need to show the problem to your service consultant. It can be also alignment related. I can drive without touching steering wheel at all for long time on freeways. I have feeling that MB is much more stable and require less effort for steering than my Lexus.
