230SL Steering BOX leaking
« on: March 29, 2021, 13:39:34 »
Seems I have a small leak from the (original) steering BOX (not the pump)

Is this an easy fix or an exchange unit please?

Some people have luck changing the specific seals. It can be a lot of work. Complete rebuilt units are the best option but can be a little pricey $450.00 or higher depending on the source.
