The list consensus over the years has been that it is best to find a
used box.
As the 123s age, however, a shortage of good used boxes may force
other actions in the future.

Thanks Peter. I've seen the picture of the gasket kit on Rusty's site and
was a bit intimidated. I think I hear you telling me to swap the steering
box with the one from my parts car.

Typically a simple seal replacement won't fix the leak -- it's
leaking because the bearings are shot and there is excessive play in
the output shaft or there is a slot cut in the output shaft.
I've seen a rebuild kit for those boxes -- there are a billion little
blts and dozens of seals...

Hi All,
The steering gearbox on my '83 300CD has developed a leak. I can't really
identify where the leak is coming from but it is definitely from the
gearbox. I have a spare box from my wagon parts car I could use to replace
it with or I could try the gasket rebuilt kit. Anyone had luck rebuilding
