Hey everyone,

I just adjusted the steering box on my green 300SD with very positive results. The car drives infinitely better and has no slop in the steering.

So I decided I would do this to my gold 300SD as well. Its steering is a bit sloppy. I adjusted it and theres no slop however there is still some play in the wheel. I can wiggle the wheel about and it has no effect on the steering once so ever. I can see the coupler/shaft moving at the input to the steering box but nothing else.

I'm not sure whats going on here? Is the box in need of a rebuilt? Its got 140k on it, comparatively less than green (270k) and black (210k) which are both play-free.

Any ideas would be appreciated

Thanks,

Kris
