The A-class (W168) has absolutely awful steering in the RHD variant. (We did have one.) It really was a cobbled together afterthought on a LHD design to get it to work with UJs everywhere.
I don't think my Vito's anything like as messy.

Oh ok thanks

Or if you get a lot of satisfaction and want to learn by DIYing, then I suggest put up a few pictures of how you think you want to tackle the job.
