The steering on my W463 is very rough and a bit noisy when reversing.  Is this a feature of the recirculating ball steering system used?

Not sure what you mean by "very rough"??

And no, I don't think it should be noisy at all, even when reversing.

Which model of 463.?

Can't see why being in reverse would have any effect?

It is a grinding noise and almost feels like the steering is locking up.  The vehicle is a G63 and it has been like it since new but only when reversing.
