I have some old 35mm slides here in my desk; I should use those next time I
place an order with Q. ;<)

Subject: Re: [MBZ] 300SD steering sloppy coupling
Check the flex coupling, a couple of days ago it came up on the OzBenz
forum that one of those had completely disintegrated on a 126.

OK the SD is all finished, I had to replace LF brake caliper as one
piston was pretty much frozen. 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?
