How to fix E30s Steerings Free play?

[mobeen khan]

Hi Guyz Plz can any body tell me, how to fix free play of my e30s steering and is there any adjustments or i need to change any part like steeering cross? I always seek help from BMW club, because where Im living (pakistan) there are very few bmw cars, and im the only guy in my locality who has E30 and There is very little parts available in market. So it is very difficult maintain such a car.

Firstly, check the steering coupling rubber bush to see whether it's still in condition.
