Key advantages include:

• maintaining the factory operating characteristics of the steering system,
• proper fitment for AMG steering wheels used in the Sprinter as well as the W204 and W212 series,
• consistency with factory solutions regarding the steering gear and its housings.

It enables maintaining proper cooperation with the existing steering gear and column housings, without the need for interfering with the vehicle's construction.

For workshops and service centers specializing in the Mercedes brand, this is a practical solution that allows for repairs and upgrades to be carried out in a repeatable manner consistent with the manufacturer's specifications.
