2001 ML320 Steering Issues
My ML is having some steering issues. When going straight the truck feels fine. As soon as I go into a slight curve, the steering wanders and has a kind of "pulse" like it is trying to correct itself. Took it to a local shop and they couldnt find anything wrong with the steering components. The power steering pump had hoses replaced a couple of years ago (I just bought the car). Could the power steering pump be an issue if the did not get the air out after replacing the pump hoses??

Thanks,
Maverick

Why dont you align+ balance the car & bleed the steering.

I think I will take it to my local MB dealer and see what they come up with when they scan it!
