Ok, how far off can I be. Rack a Pinion is my idea of crap steering. The recirculating ball type steering found on the 114-115 of the 70's, the 123's on up to the 124 bodies (on the 300-E 86 to early 90's is thought to be the strongest steering box on a passenger car today. I can't believe a re-build is needed unless a freak seal blow or you run a taxi in New York City. I've had all the above cars (114-115, 123,124) in 300 trim, all past 130K and never even had to tweak the adjustment screw. I will admit my '81 300-D 123 body had a little play out of the show room, but it never increased for 11 years. My 90 300-E is all original, started tight and still is after 14 years. The ability of recirculating ball type steering is that it displaces load/shock over a large surface area, it this case, many steel balls. Rack and P type steering only displaces the shock (in any give position) over a very small surface area in comparison.
