When I did my front end rebuild all was well except for the steering slop. I just tighten up the adjustment screw a bit and it eliminated the slop but the steering still doesn't feel quite right.

All new suspension and steering bits, an alignment done. Car drives well except there is still a fair amount of slop in the steering. The u-joint on the shaft just ahead of the box is fine, I can rotate the steering shaft right at the box and no response from the box. It is not a lot, but maybe 2in at the top of the steering wheel, and it is really dead. I am thinking the steering box needs to be adjusted, but with all the scary stories about buggering the box I am reluctant to do that. But with all the work, and it still feeling a little sloppy, well, I would like to get rid of that slop. If the box is already shot, then adjusting it would not do much to make it worse I figure, unless the way it is is sorta the way it should be (I think not). On another subject, I put in (another) air cleaner mount, but the air cleaner is shaking quite a bit at idle, which I figure will break this one at some point. I have no idea if the engine damper is working correctly or not, should I just get a new one and replace it? --R _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
