The Black cap is what I am looking for!
First off!,
Hello Everyone!! New to the forum and the world of Mercedes. I recently bought a 2005 C230 Kompressor Coupe, and can see why there are so many enthusiasts out there. So to the point, I am replacing my rack and pinion on this vehicle and things were going smoothly until I discovered the remanufactured rack didn't have a cap over the steering box input shaft, as the old one did. When I tried to remove the old one, it just basically crumbled and now I cant seem to find a part number or kit containing this part to replace it. I have attached a pic of what I am looking for, and hope that someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance!!!
So, I found this, "Steering Rack Pinion Protective Cap" but no luck in a part number for my year. anyone know where I can locate it? Thanks!!
