huff3r 347 Report post Posted May 16, 2012 So it turns out the play in the steering was the power steering rack, so now I'm gonna need another one. Preferably Waikato or Auckland area. Car is a 1985 E30 320i. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubman 39 Report post Posted May 17, 2012 is the play from the power steering rack ends? if so, you can buy them new from Gavin (EuroItalia). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He said it's somewhere in the rack itself, and quoted me $250 to replace a bush in it but he said it could be worn in the rack itself, in which case the bush wouldn't fix it. I'd love to just renew the whole thing from wheel bearing to wheel bearing but unfortunately I'm a poor student so a second hand rack in good nick is all I can probably manage.
