HELP! - Steering rack
Anyone please help:
I am resealing my steering rack on the 1983 380SEC; I did not pay attention and did not count how many steel balls there were inside. I count 23 now but I have the feeling there were 24. Please help!Greg

24 according to the shop manual (yes, the old paper variety) for the LS 90 gearbox.

I am going to hang myself
![]() I cleaned out my entire workshop and cannot find more than the 23 I started with. Noone seems to carry these 0.275" (6.98mm) balls

Try Ebay for 7mm ball bearings.
