I’ve worked on heavy equipment and doing one of these was a breeze for dads 380sl. The walking away is best advise he gave on working on any gearbox haha

The Pittman adjustment screw on top of box fixes the play in steering wheel almost always . On easy access screw , that was fix during an oil change . People always appreciated that .

@sethpollack2002 5 месяцев назад

if only it was so accessible on my 560sl! lol

@Nadersa2 6 месяцев назад

With all the wrapping and low lighting , makes it difficult to follow. Best if the box was on a table without all the wrappings with box fully visible would have helped me to follow. Otherwise it was just the info I need and still need. You are a great mechanic. I have enjoyed and benefited from your instructions. But have difficulty to follow this one. Regards Jack.

Would love to see more repair videos. Specially, on the W123 we have an 85, 300 D was bought new by my father and we own it.

@TheRealMercDave 6 месяцев назад

Well done! I know mine is loose and that both shafts needed to be adjusted.

@robertrapoza5697 6 месяцев назад

@jessesando8582 5 месяцев назад

Great info! I was about to replace my steering dampener next week, think ill pull the box at the same time and attempt some adjustments to take out the extra travel. Was thinking id have to rebuild tbe box to take out the slack!

@vintage76vipergreenBeetle 6 месяцев назад

Nice information.

@vl2230 6 месяцев назад

Great info...hiding with the bubble wrap and yellow rag...should visit Pierre to make my steering right 😅

@chuckfinley3542 6 месяцев назад

We should buy Pierre a workbench to place the unit on; easier than hoisting it to eye level and within the camera frame.

@jessefreitas44 Месяц назад

Is this adjusted possible in the car or does the box need to be on the bench?

@MBNB85 6 месяцев назад

What models or time frame does this appy to?

@tatendagora7364 Месяц назад

For me the steering is very stiff when the car is not moving, how do I fix it? It's a 1970 W115 200

@joshuaculley9695 2 месяца назад

My 74 450SL’s steering box or at least my steering has slight play in it. Does the r107 have this same adjustments?

@TheSunilSom 5 месяцев назад

Hi from India. Should a 1968 W115 220 Petrol have a Bakelite steering wheel or something similar to the plastic units used in later W123s?

@dinispaulino7512 2 месяца назад

1968 is the first year of production of the W115, so it's a first series car, therefore it should have a bakelite steering wheel.

@brucehammell 6 месяцев назад

I should probably know this but, where is your shop!? It’s, and state.!

@shmeleu 6 месяцев назад

No manual steering in USA?

@Johnathan_Waters 6 месяцев назад

Don't think so, no.

@Marklin15 3 месяца назад

Power steering was standard on all US spec W123’s. Power steering was optional on Euro 4 cylinder models until 9/82 when it was made standard on all W123. It remained an option on the base 2.0 and 1.8 liter W201 models till the end of production.

@Johnathan_Waters 6 месяцев назад

Another great video Pierre! I have a question about the "centering pin" you mentioned. I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to find more information about this tool, and hopefully get a part number to order one, but i can't seem to find it! I've been looking for over a year at this point. Any ideas?? Thank you!

@MJR67 6 месяцев назад

Greetings watersists, the part number is 116589062100 costs between $40-50. However, all you need to do is buy a M8 x 1mm pitch brake bleeder screw - AutoZone or Napa has them for $2 and screw it in and it will do the same as the $40-50 tool. In fact and M8x1mm screw which you’ve filed into a conical shape will work just as well. Best of luck.

@Johnathan_Waters 6 месяцев назад

@@MJR67 Wow! Thank you sir, very kindly indeed. Looks like the 116 part number was throwing me off. I was expecting it to be a 123 part #.

I hope someone would take on the task to make new ballshaft and working pistons/crosshafts. Should be possible to find a Chinese company that can make a couple of hundreds…
