Rebuilt steering box will transform the car; get one from a reputable place
or it will probably need to be replaced again in short order and you will
spend more on the 2x labor than you would have on a decent rebuilt box.

Ralph,
There is a company in Nevada that is considered the expert and go-to place to
get rebuilt steering boxes for Mercedes called C Hydraulics. Your mechanic
should be able to purchase from them, they don’t sell to the end user/general
public. Their rebuilt steering boxes aren’t cheap, but
My steering became stiff and would try to lock up when turning. The
steering had started having a bit of play while driving, and I had to
constantly correct it. Didn't bother me much and I just figured it was old
and needed some slight adjustment, but then this locking up and stiffness
set in
having my MB indy adjust the box on my 82 300CD solved the problem

Kyle Arola adjusted the steering box on my 1985 300TD. Not difficult at
all. Try that first.

The box is adjustable, but that doesn't mean adjusting it will fix the
problem.
There is a detailed procedure for adjustment, which a non-specialist
might not follow correctly.

I would first say, if you're not doing your own work, then find a shop that is
experienced in older MB vehicles before doing any expensive repairs (may be
easier said than done depending on where you are located).
What is the problem the mechanic diagnosed?

I am having a problem with my steering box, and I am looking to replace it,
if I can find one. The garage I have looking into my problem feels I would
have to replace it with either a new one or a reconditioned one; if there
is such a thing. Would this part be available thru a normal auto parts
