Heavy steering - Check the power steering fluid. If it's low it might need topping up. I doubt it has ever been changed now might be right time to do it.
Lola's too busy making sure all the other dogs in the neighbourhood see how good she looks in the ML 55 AMG. What dog wouldn't? Getting three cars for than amount of money was some sharp trading on your part. The Cadillac, even with that many miles, will be a good running vehicle I'm sure. Definitely seems to be a channel favourite and mine. The ML 55 AMG is looking like an easy fix so far with mostly used parts to correct the neglect over the years. Wonder video once again. Thank you.
Flush that Power Steering fluid, its not difficult but makes a big difference. Those Electro Hydraulic systems dont like dirty fluid more so than the standard.
Don't know about LKQ out here in CA, the wrecking yards pull the steering racks from cars to sell to a rebuilder before making the donors available for picking..
Some great progress! It's definitely a keeper, once you install a tow hitch. I always wanted an ML55, but now I'm thinking to get the ML63 to replace my E53 X5 4.8is dinan sig which gets 22 mpg highway!
Mike, your steering rack has a variable speed module that fails, causing the heavy steering at low speeds. I bought a w210 for my mother with the same issue as your ML. The module is NLA available from MB. It extremely hard to find an aftermarket replacement. My cure is replacing the entire steering rack..good luck!
There are people out there that specialize in working thouse kinds of dents out without disturbing the paint. Clearing the headlights will make a big difference.
The new hood have a considerable amount of haildings. Maybe you can PDR them out, but it looks really nice. If there is a nice but expensive tool you can share the costs with randy as he is also in need.
Yay a new full video on the ML!!!🎉 can't wait to see more, like a new windshield and whatever other knick knacks it needs. Get hwy cruise video in this ML soon! Check the power steering fluid and components could be something easy.
Gas gauges on these can be erratic.....The sender unit linked to the fuel pump is the culprit....in addition to an enthusiastic lead-weighted right foot!!!. Love the content!!
Excellent job as usual Mike. You are giving that AMG the loving she should have had from previous owners but she is still in great shape besides that. I still concur that you need to peddle that Escalade and either get one in better shape or get one of her sisters from Chevy or GMC.Just sayin'...
Great video. Think the ML will last longer for u as tow vehicle. 😂 all those miles on old caddy might be better if only cruises to work and grocery shopping for someone.
Mike, this is a no brainer. The ML55 is vastly superior to the mega-mile Escalade. I'd be surprised if you couldn't find a bolt on Tailer Hitch for it, while scrounging about. It would make decent content for you, especially if you got it at a pick-a-part type yard, so you video both the removal and installation. I've put on a couple bolt on type hitches, and it's really just paint by numbers.
Your videos are great Mike, I’m going to have to watch the ML more closely now, just picked up a 2007 ML500 with the 5.5 this week after a kangaroo totalled my Hemi Grand Cherokee, I argued with the insurance company to fix it to no avail as I have three dogs and need the wagon type car, but I eventually found the ML, 111,000 kms 🤞🏼it’s a good one
Flush the power steering with the proper fluid, and it should return, if not, lack of maintenance has already done it's nasty deed, and a new pump is in order.
Do you possibly need a power steering fluid flush? Does the power steering have a filter? My BMW has the filter built into the power steering reservoir so I have to replace the reservoir to replace the filter. Not sure if Mercedes does something similar.
I think in the near future we are going to see a "Playpoodle" hatch! hahaha! ...uhhh....or birth???.....ummmm....Mike very well could solve what came first, the chicken or the egg? hahaha Great vids Mike..keep it up!
Why is it you have that awful Escalade when you can have such a nice ML55 AMG. The ML came out so nice. Let us also get an update on the wagons, I remember that generation being such a great car, I never seen them now, and then as wagons, that’s super rare.

New power door switch, new power steering pump, new windshield, and new winter coat for Lola. I prefer the ML 55 over the Escalade.
I love this ML55. Even more than the Escalade and I’m an Escalade fanatic!
So now the AMG is chillin'
You still knocked one out of the park with this purchase.

Aww Lola making her cameo such a cutie . Yeap her and Benzo look great guilty 😂 The car is looking good awesome job Mike . You got this !.
Lola thinks you’re nuts talking to yourself…lol. She looks concern. Love your videos
This is a keeper. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ML55 in the wild before.
Have a good weekend Mike
Always re-use when necessary. thanks for the videos.
Still like the caddy
I counted 7.4sec 0 - 60 very nice

Some pretty good repairs Mike, and it sounds good. Love the way the radio opens up, pretty cool. 😎👌👍
Love the videos Mike; one word of advice, please put Lola in a harness and have it attached to the seat-belt. Please, for her safety.
I love the ML55 Mike. It’s a special car and I’ll pick it anytime over the Escalade.
This is a win mike🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hay buddy good luck you are going to need it
Doesn't the fender flares bolt on the ML55? Can't they be swapped to the ML500 fender? I thought that was the case. Nice work.
OKC ( parts ) Corral
Love the duck n dog content was hilarious hahaha benzo is a boss..gotta get Lola's benz approval hehehe
Windshield : The crack of "Dawn". Have you named it ?
Nicely done 🐵🔧Mike 🎬🚘👍
Your duck Benzo thinks he's a Goose. LOL
This brings back alot of memories, bad ones!
Don't know about LKQ out here in CA, the wrecking yards pull the steering racks from cars to sell to a rebuilder before making the donors available for picking..
Its a nice car looks gr8 but I still love the caddy more 😂 good job ma men bless
Some great progress! It's definitely a keeper, once you install a tow hitch. I always wanted an ML55, but now I'm thinking to get the ML63 to replace my E53 X5 4.8is dinan sig which gets 22 mpg highway!
Happy Friday Mike
Hey Mike, what happened to the wonder wagons?

The module is NLA available from MB. It extremely hard to find an aftermarket replacement. My cure is replacing the entire steering rack..good luck!

I usually take the door seal from the passenger side as not normally badly worn
Vary awesome job. Nice job on getting everything that you needed for the ML55 AMG. Sweet. Keep up the great work.
It’s about time 😭 i been waiting for this video. LMAO love your videos!
Job well done Mike !! Lola approved 🐩 !
have you checked the tyre pressures mike? it can make quite a difference to the steering if theyre low.
The new hood have a considerable amount of haildings. Maybe you can PDR them out, but it looks really nice. If there is a nice but expensive tool you can share the costs with randy as he is also in need.
Love watching and love ur ml 55 I am becoming a Mercedes love
Yay a new full video on the ML!!!🎉 can't wait to see more, like a new windshield and whatever other knick knacks it needs. Get hwy cruise video in this ML soon!
Check the power steering fluid and components could be something easy.
That is the 7th ML you have owned?? I am pretty sure that's MLVII.
Gas gauges on these can be erratic.....The sender unit linked to the fuel pump is the culprit....in addition to an enthusiastic lead-weighted right foot!!!. Love the content!!
Duck was showing Lola some Love.
The first duck-billed platypus had to come from somewhere.
YAY! A new MWM Video! 🎉🎉🎉
Excellent job as usual Mike.
You are giving that AMG the loving she should have had from previous owners but she is still in great shape besides that.
I still concur that you need to peddle that Escalade and either get one in better shape or get one of her sisters from Chevy or GMC.Just sayin'...
Hey Mike great video. We have a ml sport ( same body kit as the amg) here at LKQ and it’s SILVER if you want parts I could get you some
Where are you located? Please email - monkeywrenchmike123@gmail.com
Sir, do you know how fast you were going ? LOL
Did you not see that stop sign? 19:53
U just stink at driving
Great Video!!!! Great Job!! 😁
So " Dawn " is a bar fly. LOL
Nice work Mike. Keep the AMG and scrap the escalade.
nice vehicle. like it much more than the wagons. shirt looks fine.🤙🏽
Love you and Lola. ❤❤
Might want to lift the front tyre pressures to see if that helps steering feel ?
Great video like always Mike!😊
What is going on with the Mercedes 190e? Any updates?
The drivers power window motor might have a chaffed wire creating a short to ground. Try removing the door panel and inspect the motor wiring.
great job mike on the 🐤🐤ml55 amg
Likes to run stop signs
Great video. Think the ML will last longer for u as tow vehicle. 😂 all those miles on old caddy might be better if only cruises to work and grocery shopping for someone.
Oh my Mike! 😂😂 keep it up hooe we see the caddy soon!

i like your sheepdog. your funny. i like your mercedes.
Great work and video on the ML💪🔥
Really need that hood for my ML 163
Mikee's Mukel-Wagen 500 !
Your videos are great Mike, I’m going to have to watch the ML more closely now, just picked up a 2007 ML500 with the 5.5 this week after a kangaroo totalled my Hemi Grand Cherokee, I argued with the insurance company to fix it to no avail as I have three dogs and need the wagon type car, but I eventually found the ML, 111,000 kms 🤞🏼it’s a good one
Lola!!
I would tow with the Escalade. I would not tow with the ML55
Flush the power steering with the proper fluid, and it should return, if not, lack of maintenance has already done it's nasty deed, and a new pump is in order.
Mike you are amazing you got a side hustle fixing those Mercedes How do I get a sticker
“She likes to drink”. My first thought was that SUV needs to be named after my wife. Mike, PLEASE call it “Jenny”. lol
And power window switch -- see if its getting 12 volt power.
1A auto has a new video out on power steering problems.
And 1/2 ? the mileage.
Do you possibly need a power steering fluid flush? Does the power steering have a filter? My BMW has the filter built into the power steering reservoir so I have to replace the reservoir to replace the filter. Not sure if Mercedes does something similar.
What is this ticking noise? fuel ejector or are your valve kissing the cylinder head? 😢😮
I think in the near future we are going to see a "Playpoodle" hatch! hahaha! ...uhhh....or birth???.....ummmm....Mike very well could solve what came first, the chicken or the egg? hahaha Great vids Mike..keep it up!
Mike that mlb 500 you should keep her she pretty then that Cadillac suv
Needs new side mirror
I'd rather have the Sheepdoodle .
Enter the Escalade in a demolition derby.
Mike, dont do a doughnut or whip the car around too fast. IT will blow the power steering pump. Ask me how I know.
I think ya should have some Lola tshirts
I thought it was 3 Little Pigs. LOL
Cool 🥰
Am I the first to watch this great monkey wrench vid?
