Looks like I will make the adjustment at the steering wheel. I'm so glad that I do not have to mess around with the gear box again. It only took me 2 1/2 hours to do the swap but most of that was cussing and monkey forking around with getting the rebuilt box installed. This was all done with the car on the ground. Not an experience I want to go through again anytime soon.

The old box was leaking very badly and there was a scary amount of play and clunking in the wheel; despite having the box tightened when I had MB perform an alignment. I'm not sure exactly how many miles this car has on it but my guess is 400K.
