I don't know YOUR history with the car....but the steering box replacement would be the LAST step.


All steering components should be inspected first.....tierods especially. The biggest cause of play is usually the steering coupler between the steering wheel shaft and the box itself.

Second to last is a minor box adjustment. After all that if you are still unhappy.....a box replacement.

There is someone floating around this board that does rebuilds. You will also need new mounting hardware as it is one time use (per MB).
