I should have mentioned in the first post that all the steering parts on this car are new or less than 1 year old.

I rebuilt the front end of the car last summer. The tie rods and center drag link are lemforder brand.

I had a rebuilt gearbox procured and installed by my mechanic in August of last year.
The first one they sourced leaked after they installed it so it was replaced with another unit.

I had the car aligned locally and it kept having a leftward pull issue.
I took it up to MB in North Olmsted and they told me the gearbox is bad and has lots of slop in it.

I took it back to the shop and they agreed. They replaced the gearbox under warranty on Tuesday and what you see in the video is the result..
