guys,just changed my control arm and the lower arm bush.went to do alignment too.....can feel there's more steering free play.....how to eliminate?TIA.________BUY E CIGARETTES
 
It should be tighter actually after changing to new bushes. Especially when its new. It shouldnt have free play. Better send it back to check.

Steering free play maybe caused by the your rack. Better to check that or the coupling. E46 not that sure tho but definately no free play.

Pssstttt..........Unless you always play for free ar? kekekeke

alvin was damn right, at 1st, there's oil leakage in the rack, bought repair kits n a used rack housing. then done liao.. my coupling is good, so din change it.. a recond coupling shld be ard rm250.

my cost is stated here. http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/forums/inde...c=51&st=435&hl= .. this is for e36, maybe e46 higher man. goodie luck..

yup paksu.. true true...
