2000 Mercedes-Benz S 500 Steering Squealing Noises When Turning

Squealing / Squeaking Noises From Area of Rack-And-Pinion When Steering in Both
Directions
If you receive customer reports in the above model vehicles of squealing or squeaking
noises when steering in both directions when the engine is warm, the cause may be due
to insufficient lubrication at the radial shaft sealing ring in the control head.
Note :The additive Lubrizol 6178 must only used up to a certain steering gear serial
number (see list). This restriction applies to models 203120912111220 without ABC. The
additive must no longer be used as of steering gear serial number stated below. If the
additive Lubrizol 6178 is poured into a steering gear after the steering gear serial
number stated below, damage to the steering gear is possible.
