I have a 1985 500 SL - Grey Market, with a lotta play in the steering. It was adjusted by a competent shop but they said that the box was in bad shape and could not be adjusted fully without risking locking up. Can these things be rebuilt? I can get a used one at a reasonable cost but there is no way to really assure that it is any good until installed and tested with a load put on it. Any help appreciated.

    Has the onset of Electric Vehicles (EV) made you rethink about purchasing an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicle? I'll admit, I am reluctant to purchase a new ICE vehicle but would still purchase a used discounted ICE vehicle. Some forecasters are predicting "Auto Armageddon" for the Auto...

  6. Cam/Crank sprocket teeth... timing angles and other thoughts

    R/C107 SL/SLC Class
    Hello all, been in the garage today, to finally begin the timing chain job and I must admit I prepared for much worse. Fairly Straight forward job. Tedious in some instances. Replaced only the chain so far in few hours I had available and dodged a bullet when the head end of the new chain fell...
