Steering Box Adjustment. 1989 300E
I would like to tweak the old-world steering gear on my 300E as I notice some wander in wind and grooved roadways. (anyone who has driven Rt 20 from Dallas to Tyler will know what I'm talking about). I looked at all the archived threads regarding this and have looked under, on top, all over and cannot find any adjusting screws/lock bolts on the steering box with which to twist. Am I just not looking hard enough? I have about 2 inches of free travel before the wheels begin to move.
BTW...If I could graft the Volvo's rack and pinion steering on the Benz it would be a better car! Hard to beat Volvo's steering IMHO. Thanks! This is a great board! Bill 1991 Volvo 740 112k miles 1991 Maxima 190k miles 1989 300E 118k miles |

The adjusting bolt is located on the top side of the steering gear box opposite the pitman arm shaft. I would suggest that before you attempt to adjust the box to make sure there is no play (read worn out) tie rod ends or drag link.

Check the drag link!
Cheap and easy replacement!
