Rack and pinion on 2008 c300 4matic sport
Anyone have any instructions on how to change the rack and pinion on 4matic ? It started leaking oil from inner tie rod. Was thinking about attempting replacement but can't find much info on my particular w204. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you know what is exactly leaking? if its an oil line they have sealing kits.
