Question Rebuilt Steering Boxes

My indy just installed rebuilt steering boxes in both my '81 240D(170K) and '88 300SEL(140K), both units required adjusting from the get go, with about 1" of side to side free play still present for both cars. My understanding per MB is that 1" of free play is near the marginal end of acceptability. Both of the cars still require over correction when driving. My indy says the 240 front end components are all still in excellent condition. The 300 has a totallt rebuilt front end. I was wondering if any body else has had problems with rebuilt steering boxes not being within closer tolerances? Both boxes are from the same (reputable?) supplier mentioned before on this forum. Perhaps I am having supplier problems? Any recommendations/suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks
