1985 W123 Front-End Rebuild
My 195,000 85 300D is having some wandering issues, excessive Steering wheel play the most obvious. I'll be the first to admit the steering may be fine and I'm just not used to MB type steering compared to say a Volvo rack setup.
I haven't fully inspected the front end yet and will need to have it lifted and checked out in a shop but I am thinking at least the centerlink and tie-rods need to be replaced. Suppose I just decide to do the whole thing, UCAs, LCAs etc. Is there a "kit" to rebuild everything in the front end? Is this a driveway doable job or am I going to need the thing professionally done. I have the tools, maybe the talent, probably not the body but I think I could maybe get some help with the teardown. My thinking is that since I'm there I may as well fix everything and then proceed to the rear for mounts and stuff. Opinions? Experiences? Detailed instructions? (I'll get a or rebuild the steering box too). Thanks Much
