My steering seems to have a bit of play in it and im wondering if its the universal joint.

There is quite a lot of play in it and you can wiggle the joint about 10mm in every direction. Is this normal?

Sounds sha**ed (as they normally are!)

You can buy all the bits you need from the stealers individually.


The nylon spacer normally wears in the joint

Good idea to repalce the rubber as well

*May* be available as a kit from BMW too
