Steering box

[kurtdaley]

Hi, i've got a bit of play with the steering wheel and think it's the steering box, just wondering if it is adjustable.
Car is a 1994 220ce, thanks guys

Yes it is but you should check play elsewhere first as it is much more likely to be play in your linkages that the steering box.

Cheers Spike will get it on the ramp at weekend and have a look

Pardon my ignorance, but what is this & how does the system acheive this?

Cheers Dee

with a spring loaded plunger inside the steering box - will only work in the center line, so if the track rods and wheel position have been naffed about with it will be inop.

My bet the drag link ITEM 92 second picture down or one of the track rod ends 53-59 -usually the one nearest the steering box. 59 http://www.detali.ru/cat/oem_mb2.as...GM=717.413&CT=F&cat=15T&SID=46&SGR=120&SGN=06
Might just be the damper 113 -they tend to go every 30k miles. about £35 and an easy DIY on a ramp 2 bolts.
