I think the real danger here is going from rack-and-pinion steering in a modern car to this car and thinking that it's loose. I doubt if the steering was as tight as a modern rack and pinion mechanism with 100K on it when the 107SL was new. The book says some play is normal. Overtightening the box will cause loss of return-to-center (pretty dangerous) and/or an exponentially faster wearing out of the gearbox requiring complete replacement ($$$$).
