bekker 7 Report post Posted June 30, 2009 Two questions... Can someone please tell me what size and type of sump washers I need for both the engine and the auto trans for an 87 525e. Also I think the steering box is pretty much poked. Does anybody know what (if any) other models boxes (that just doesn't sound right) will fit. Is there such a thing as an upgrade for this part? Cheers in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good point I haven't checked the UJ. Just know there is play and a groanching noise and feel through the steering wheel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
