Other parts look good. How do you tell if the idler arm needs a rebuild?

You know, the steering gear on this car is pretty simple and the parts seems to be easy to replace. Not like my other vehicles with rack and pinion.

Why did MB use this design...for ease of service? Replacing a rack and pinion is no easy thing and expensive too.
