He buys up wrecked / totalled / damaged Crossfires and parts them out.
But I think you said you want NEW parts, so I really wouldn't know where to find steering parts.

Re: Steering idlers?
previous car was a merc slk 320 and I kept the odd part I noticed was missing on the XF so I didn't have to buy those parts. Every so far has been identical to the merc. From what my mechanic and I can see if its not cosmetic it appears to be straight SLK. You really need to have had an SLK to appreciate just how good the XF is in Coupe form. Much stiffer and far better at cornering, I have just learnt how to scare myself again. Whooooooah

Phoned round various merc dealers etc & they have never heard of a steering idler?
Re: Steering idlers?
Don't think that ones what you need its too much stuff. If you look at the first link I sent I think you want either part 3 or 5 depending - just need to find someone other than Chrysler doing them . Don't know why Mercedes don't know what you mean as I found idlers arms etc mentioned all over the place on Merc forums?

Re: Steering idlers?
Yep would seem its the idler arm...just need to find one now?.
Now I'm thinking, i bought a steering damper recently from the following link:
eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace
In the list of merc models that the damper was compatible with it lists numerous different models....does that mean the idler arm would also be compatible across these models?, for instance I have found an idler arm for a c-class 1.8 (this model was in the list of compatible models on the damper link) link here:
MERCEDES BENZ C-CLASS IDLER ARM 1.8 93-00 OE QUALITY | eBay
Does this mean that this idler arm would fit an slk 320/crossfire?
Sounds confusing & hope I've explained things as best as possible
