I've developed a knock im my steering column when I hit sharp bits of bad road at lower speeds. The entire suspension is new and the knuckle joint is solid.

Can only find a kit for the E36...any thoughts/ suggestions? It's making me crazy!

You are right almost everything is available - cool, now I have to open it up and find the play...

almost finished the rear quarter - the good weather helps with the paint!
