[QUOTE="moots, post: 553811, member: 219"] bruce,normally we have issues of leaky racks hence the reason for change or upgrade to e36 rack as they have tighter turn ration but if your case is loose steering then perhaps then the possibilities wud be as such: 1. tie rods 2. the rubber 2 rubber bush that secures the rack to the car 3. the steering rubber vibration isolator (doughnut) on the steering column in the engine bay.prone to fail in the e30 due to it's location next to exhaust manifold.the e34 and e39 vibration isolator sits higher up on the steering column in the cabin hence lasts maybe the lifetime of the car. ps. i replaced the rubber isolator on my previous e30 twice during my ownership (6 yrs)but never had to replace even once on my previous e34(10 yrs ownership) and it still looked solid when i sold it.
