Re: steering prob fix

how accurate are oem diagrams
My exhaust front section for my 325i tourer . the pipes go into a single diamond shape join at the manifold .On the oem diagrams only the 1600 and 1800 have this and on the bigger engined models the pipes have there own triangular shaped joins . Is this a diagram error or do i have the wrong exhaust.

Re: power steering very noisy ,high pitch rubbing squealing
its high pitch squeal , the thing is it doesent sound like its coming from the front of the engine it sounds like its coming from behind the steering wheel a bit like plastic when it rubs tightly together.
