Post Wed Jul 15, 2015 12:55 pm

Hello,

I feel my tire direction goes every where while i pass the bad road and i hear strange knock while i pass bad road or brake or accelerate.

I check one of my tie rod a little bit loose and i replaced, but still same so check again and found ball joint near tire has very loose so replaced.

It has improve on handling but knocking and loose of direction while pass bad road still but not aa much.

I check my steering rack also a bit loose?

But i'm not sure it is the cause, and why bmw steering rack is very weak?

Thank you
Markus

With all these replacement parts fitted, has the tracking been checked? Toe out will make your car move about on roads that constantly change in camber.

No, my car use all stock oem standart spring, except m3 bushing arm and e46 rack (1 year old fitted but now feel not firm) i feel that some part or may be teflon bush in the rack has worn? Can i replaced it or just make small adjustment?

i find that after I tighten my strut housing and strut mount the knock sound while I pass the hole road is very minimal, but the sound knock while I brake still exist in the below my pedal, I curious that it is from my bushing arm, I send some pics and need advice does it is need to replace or not? i see some crack both r and l.
