Play on 1 side of steering box
Very curious on this. Just finished some weekend work in my 07 SL550 (replaced ABS pump). On my afterwork inspection, I notice a 2.5mm play in the right pithman arm. The play is in the pitman arm-steering box side.
The driver side is solid, no play at all.
Engine was off.
I am trying to dig my WIS to learn more, but is this play acceptable? Will it go away if engine is running?
Driving the car yields no bad symptoms. Goes straight and normal steering feedback. No odd reactions on slow or moderate turns.
