Description of the problem	My mercedes r350 sporadically becomes very difficult to steer. I noticed that this happens after a few minutes of city street driving. The steering gets so tight that it requires both hands and a lot of effort to just steer the wheel particularly when parking. Because of this constant battle with the steering wheel i started feeling pain on my shoulder. The steering wheel fluid level is fine and the car has never been in any accident. I called mercedes benz after finding out that there has been a recall on the 2008 r350s for the same problem but i was told that my car is not part of the recalled batch based on my vin#. Maybe there is just not enough complaints yet for my
