Sorry but you guys just don't know about this. I have owned a lot of benzes and most with a lot of miles. I have adjusted most of them never with any bad side effects.

My dd has over 300K on the chassis and I have adjusted the steering gearbox more than once. It is currently nice and tight....just right.
