Steering Box Rubber Seals- where to find?
« on: June 10, 2015, 11:16:56 »
I'm trying to source the 2 seals highlighted in the attached pic for the steering box, for a friend's car.  I have purchased the seal kit from SLS -
http://www.sls-hh-shop.de/en/230-280SL-W113/46-Steering/46-d-Steering-Gearbox-Fluid-Pump/Gasket-kit-pwr-steerg-div-108-113-Gasket-kit-pwr-steerg-div-108-113.html
but it does not contain these 2 seals.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and best,

Mike

Mike,
If you had purchased the overhaul kit from your local dealer you would not have this problem.
Have you reported the missing seals to SLS?

Thanks for your reply Eric. I will follow up with SLS,  I thought that they were not included in the kit.

Best,

Mike
