Interesting point...
I don't know... I might be crazy but I've been in quite a few S500, S430, CL600 and CL65 cars and they all seemed to turn a little easier than mine, but then again it might just be mental.
The only thing I can offer you once again Oliverk is to meet me somewhere half way so we can test and compare. I will have the SDS in the trunk as always.

S 500
Hi guys I have a S500 2005 and my steering has been making creaking noises whenever i turn on my AC as if the power steering has gone bad however i had that replace last month so i dont think thats the case Also the steering is alot heavier than before. any idea what this could be? when the AC is off then everything is smooth.. thanks
Im at 99,000 miles if that helps and i can hear a lose knocking sound on the left wheel side im guessing that could be the thrust arm... just some info in case it would help..

Perhaps you need a new poly-vee belt or belt tensioner? Maybe the pully is contaminated? If the steering is OK when the AC is off, that suggests the belt is slipping under the combined load.
