Change steering on 190E - 16v box?

Hey all

Long time no visit, as my car's running quite beautifully!

Replaced the steering dampener recently, and the steering is a lot nicer. In addition, it shakes a lot less, giving (or at least giving the impression of) a much smoother ride.

However, the steering is still as slow as ever, and I feel would be much nicer if there were less turns lock-to-lock.

A 16v has quicker steering - is that just a different steering box? Is it fittable to an 8v, and is it expensive?

My power steering pump is leaking, so if I need to do deal with that, is there anything else I could do whilst there to aid my cause?

thanks

Russ
