Actually, the ceramic or whatever it is (feel free to step in, Marshall) seems to do the intended job. My car has about 215,000+ MILES (not K) and the wheels still turn smoothly as needed. Yea, the new Rusty Filter is in there now, but this car has steered for longer than some on this list have been alive, and I think with the original filter.
I continue to hold to the fact that the Benz engineers (WW II not withstanding) did not have their heads up their rectums. Truth be told, I almost hated removing the ceramic thing and putting in paper, but logic made me do so.
