Steering pump seal kit
In the middle of an engine rebuild. Figured I might as well redo the steering pump seals. Went on Autohausaz and punched in my model (engine is an m104 out of a '94 e320 convertible) got my seals.... and they don't fit. Most of the orings including the hourglass one are close, but the front shaft seal is way off.
My steering pump is a ZF, part number is A 210 466 21 01 and sure enough... this is NOT on the fit list for the kit I bought. But for the life of me I can't find the correct seal kit anywhere. Unfortunately I already destroyed the front shaft seal so I can't just slap it back together and cross my fingers.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Does the delaer not sell a power steering kit for your engine? I am yet to find a seal they do not cover for my '89. I just rebuilt my manual transmission on the W201 and they had all the seals in it as a kit. It was all under $100 as I recall, it included input/output shaft seals. rubber and paper gaskets, etc. All I needed and more.
I would visit the dealer first and avoid your local auto shops for this type of need.

Probably the obvious answer! xD Us kids want to find everything on the internet these days...
Hopefully they can also help me find my crank pulley (separate from the harmonic balancer and apparently also an oddity). Original one is badly rusted.

They will have those parts and if you build a relationship with your parts person he/she may give you some discounts. Still pricey but always a perfect fit. And good quality.
BTW, I do not work for Mercedes NA, just an owner for the last 34 years....
There must be a decent dealership in Atlanta, I have bought online products from them.
