I have a 81 300SD that originaly was thought to have a bad tumbler. I was able to get it out and replaced it with a new one from merecedes that I ordered. After the new one was installed, i turned the key and it turned over a couple times but by the third time it stuck and I was at square one again. I was able to get it free but I decided not turn it back to the off position just because i know that the tumbler has to come out again regardless. I assume that the REAL problem is the steering lock mechanism that is fualty. What do I do next. Do I have to replace the entire steering column now? Thanks for your help,
-Stephen
