Got the new steering gear into my 83 300TD today. It was a
breeze. Less then 1 hour 45 min in all. Then I put the gear I
took out of the TD and put it into the 300D because the one in
there was a lot worse. I guess that practice pats off because
that one only took an hour and a half. Drove the TD into town and
it is like driving a new car. Just hold the wheel straight and
keep going, no more having to wiggle the wheel to stay on line. I
did an adjust on the box that I took out to put into the 300D but
haven't had a chance to see how much better it is. The one in
there had a lot of slop and no way to adjust it out due to the
buggered up adjustment stud so that goes back as a core to be
rebuilt. All in all a good day's fun.
