Thank you for your inquiry. You may find our full return policy by clicking on this link.

Thank you for your inquiry. You would be able to send your core back first. Once we receive the core we can collect payment for just the part and send it out to you. Please call us at 888-907-7225 if you would like to set that up with us.

Yes we do, as long as you are located in the continental US (48 states)

We can only guarantee fitment on US-spec, left-hand drive vehicles unless otherwise noted. We can look up any OEM part numbers off your original gearbox, or if you can ship your original steering rack to us, we can rebuild it and return it to you. Send us an email via the “Contact Us” link if you’re interested!

We will refund the core deposit back through whatever method you pay with as soon as the core is returned. We provide a return shipping label for customers in the US; we do not cover international shipping, but Montreal isn't too far from the border. If you ever travel to the US, you can contact us for a return shipping label and drop the original gearbox off at any UPS location.

Either one of these fits any US-spec Mercedes R107. The one ending with R is a stock replacement that's going to perform exactly the same as OEM. Q3 is a quick-ratio gearbox with a faster steering ratio for quicker steering response.

We can only guarantee fitment on US-market vehicles, but if you have any OEM part numbers off your original gearbox, we can try looking them up to see if they match anything we have available.

107 460 1801 does not match this gearbox, or anything else we have available. If you can ship your original steering gearbox to us, we can rebuild it and return it to you; send us a direct email via the below link if you’re interested!

I cannot say for sure that the US-spec gearbox is the same as the European spec, you will need to do your own research on that. These are only guarnateed to fit on US-spec models. The core return time period is 90 days.

Thank you for your inquiry. Complete tear down and inspection of every unit to our company’s high standards and our professional experts of 30+ years’ experience.
