[QUOTE="wingzee, post: 682939, member: 22730"] Visited Albert today to replace the long due steering column shaft. Plan been put off couple of times due to unavailability of a good condition half-cut part. Was told a brand new part cost about RM3-4k. Been living with knocking sound in the steering column area whenever driving through uneven surfaces and free play (about 0.5 to 1.0inch) while turning the steering wheel. This been happening ever since gotten the car and the last change of steering coupling and lower joint only managed to minimise the issue but not eliminated it totally. Such condition causes a lot of nervousness and non-confidence during corners and high speed driving. The whole job took about 3 hours as it involves a lot of work of dismantling the whole steering column (including steering wheel, steering angle sensor), up to the steering coupling and lower joint in the lower part of engine. Went home a very very happy man as now there is now zero free play and no more knocking sound. Feels absolutely like a true UDM. :) [URL=http://s126.photobucket.com/user/teikwing/media/BMW%20325i%20E46/photo3_zps505295f4.jpg.html][IMG]http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/teikwing/BMW%20325i%20E46/photo3_zps505295f4.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s126.photobucket.com/user/teikwing/media/BMW%20325i%20E46/photo1_zps84ca8255.jpg.html][IMG]http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/teikwing/BMW%20325i%20E46/photo1_zps84ca8255.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s126.photobucket.com/user/teikwing/media/BMW%20325i%20E46/photo2_zps5bffceb1.jpg.html][IMG]http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/teikwing/BMW%20325i%20E46/photo2_zps5bffceb1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/QUOTE]
