Steering linkages. Update to UJ build page 5

[DanThe]

You may have got some dirt mixed in with the roller bearings, it is a bit of a fiddly job

When fitting these its best to clamp the UJ's to the steering column and rack first, then adjust the shaft to a position you are happy with.

I still need to get some e34 UJ's

[gareth]

has anyone priced up the E34 UJ's new?
i'm guessing they're pricey but BMW often suprise me with parts prices

[ImysE30]

Anyone know how much they are used and are they easy to get hold of?

[gareth]

probably a fiver or so and in stock at every breakers in the land

i just searched for that joint on realoem (under a 1989 M20 525i http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do ... g=32&fg=30 ) and it came up with this list of other cars it's fitted to:
http://www.realoem.com/bmw/partxref.do?part=32311150489
easy enough to find then, E32 and E34 are the prime targets then

[ImysE30]

Cheers Gareth, i'll go looking

[DanThe]

£43 + VAT each, new from the dealers

E28's also

[booomer]

No problem, BT are a bunch of crooks, best advice is to avoid them at all costs.
Mobile broadband networks are getting really good ATM, well worth looking into

Will get yours posted tomorrow

[Y_Cymro]

Dan, will this allow me to fit an E46 rack to my M50 with M52 manifolds, or will I need to source an E36 or Z3 rack?
cheers

[DanThe]

E46 rack should fit fine, I didnt need to adjust my standard linkage when I changed from E36 to E46 rack, just had to trim the plastic bit down a touch

[ross_jsy]

[DanThe]

Defo got one spare, will pm you details if your interested

[nickso]

[DanThe]

[DanThe]

You only need to rebuild the upper joint Rich, have another read of the guide I did

[RichIS]

[Kedge]
