Hi,

Can someone in the know please post the procedure in detail on how to adjust the steering box on the 1983 Mercedes 300D?

I've got a good deal of play in the steering wheel (about a good inch). I've noticed that there is a good deal of play between the steering column linkage and the gear box. I've had the tie rods replaced professionally. The tires are wearing very evenly and I installed new bilstein shocks a year ago. So I'm thinking that it really is a steering box issue.

I've seen so many conflicting methods on this that I'm afraid to do what is probably a very simple procedure.

Thanks.
