Steering Wheel alignment on my brand new 350
I just got my new 350 yesterday, after a drive for about 30 km. I realize that the steering wheel doesn't align properbly.
at about 60km/hr, when i let both hands out, the steering wheel lean on the left(quite obvious). And i was driving at the highway where it is good condition.
On the nxt day i took it down to the MB service centre, after a test drive the tech guy said nothing wrong with the car.
ok than so i took another 200km today just for highway to find out whats wrong with it. I noticed it wasn't the alignment(i Guess), it should be the turning unit under the car got wrong. Cuz i m quite sure it is abnormal for a brand new car aspecially Merc. does any of u guys had the same experience?

I think I have a little of that problem too for my car. I know that MB steering wheel is usually not centered, but when you do get it to center, the alignment seems to be off for a bit. Not sure why it is, but I have seem it on my coupe, slk and my father's E320.
