201 Steering Issue....
201 Steering Issue....
Recent acquisition of an '85 190D. Many issues, but all seem to be "address-able."
One has me stumped, however.... the steering. When navigating a corner or curve, the vehicle's steering does not want to find center when coming out of the turn... it requires a conscious effort to turn the wheel back to center.
Checked the power steering; fluid was very low, but topping it up didn't seem to have an appreciable effect.
Thoughts or suggestions....? All will be appreciated!
