My son's 300e has a steering wheel with a bit more play than I like...I am not going anything to the box until we change the idler arm.

The steering damper has been changed...all other parts seem fine. However with 157k on a 16 year old car...I am sure the internals on the idler are bushing are shot.

I can see some drying out of bushings on the control arms, but they are as tight as can be. Wheels are tight up and down and side to side as well.

We replaced the torsion bar bushings and that helped handling a bit. New rear shocks were a tremendous help in handling. I also have the dog bones to put in the rear. Then maybe rear torsion bar bushings.

However, it's getting a little to cool for outside garage work...so most of this may be spring jobs.
