I have a 1982 240D, the steering box has a good amount of play internal and yes it was properly adjusted, you can feel the click and play on the input shaft by hand on the coupler, and nothing moving on the output. The adjustment has been made to add stiffness/resistance to the system, yet still has play on center (more then one inch, and off center to one side). So, do remanufactured boxes take car of this? Or are they just resealed/painted and called rebuilt? Any comments? I read a ton of material about how to rebuild them by no comments on the end result or comments about replacement boxes, I don't mind the $400-500 if it takes care of the terrible feeling going down the highway, this is still a primary car and really loved. I see Maval and C&M boxes are available, any input?
Thanks
