Hi All,
Can anyone give me an idea as to the symptoms of the onset of steering box failure?
I have a fair bit of play at the steering wheel at idle, the steering is pretty vague, worse than my old 300, she pulls left all the time, worse under braking. I adjusted the steering box at the top, and although it took out the play, i lost 'self centering'
I have replaced, the front springs, (Sticky)brake calipers and hoses, radius arm to body mounts, had the tracking done twice, changed a track rod end, and searched, prised and poked about for wear to no avail
Over bumps, she shakes the wheel a wee bit, so the steering damper might be on the way out, its a D2 on a 'Y' with 130k on the clock
Also, as regards a box, new, second hand or recon?
Thanks
Gordon
