Using a different power steering rack

[xavier]

Bofore I shell out $600.00 for another reconditioned e30 rack, is it that big a conversion to change to e36 rack?

Not a big job. A couple spacers for the rack bolts (around 8mm from memory), some custom PAS pipes (although I think you can bend the originals) and a custom steering UJ - see below.

I would be using an E46 Clubsport rack instead of an E36 item if they are available to you over there.

This the route I used to fit my E36 rack http://www.e30zone.net/e30zonewiki/inde ... onversions. Worked well and still going strong.

Another member on here has since developed this... http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... &start=100. The pics start about half way down.

if you can find a cheap one ( £30 of ebay, they didnt know its value) a z3 one is good too

it needs the spacers and new lines but the uj bolts right on with no mods

i cant confirm it misses the standard exhaust though as im going turbo
