Hi lol thats for the pair right??

just out of intrest whats the price of a brand new steering rack and are they the same through out the E30 range except the M3 which was quicker right??
and is that also compatible with normal E30,s because i have M30 conversion and been having trouble with steering although the current rach i think from a sport has been the best untill now when it has started to pull to the right and some times left and have been advised it is the left side rod which needs changing, can you advise best course of action?
thanks

shaz your rack on your car is a reconditioned one,this was put on a week or 2 before you collected the car,you have play in your rack because of the knuckle joint,because its plastic and the heat from the exhaust(manifold)is weakening it,thats why theres a bit of play.

and as for the tie rods,if you look through the service history reciepts,you will find i bought 2 brand new ones from euro car parts and they were also fitted along with the new rack.

stop wasting yor money man.

if you look near the manifold,you can see a steering coupling joint,it has a round type metal cover with rubber inside,basically you need to get one made from metal,im pretty sure someone here can give you much more detail.
