This is the $1200 380SL "rescue" project - do a search on "Wayward Woman" if you want to see the whole story. The steering was like that when I got it, and it was simply a matter of time and money before I could fix it.

The adjustment on the 107's is extremely hard to get at, requires special tools, and the manual specifies that a torque measuring device be attached. It is much more of a pain than the 123's.

We had an '82 300D for sixteen years, and had the steering adjusted at the dealer several times. It was never really right, and I wish that I had replaced it.
