MOT Fail. :( 1. Front control arm bushes. Are e30 controls arms a direct replacement? I dont need s50 M3 bushes aswell do I? 2. 18" wheels rubbing on inside of wheel wells. Would the s50 m3 bushes remedy this as the wheels sit a few cm's forward? 3. Leaking steering rack. Would a local garage be able to fit a Z3 1.9 rack if i told them it does mount the same but it would require extra piping and a bracket etc? Or would they give up on the job, whinge it doesnt fit? So, does a z3 rack mate with e30 arms. Are the s50 m3 bushes a necessity? Thanks in advance, I need to get this car taxed and back on the road/track. |
i did the z3 rack on mine, straight bolt-on, the only difference is the cooler pipe that mounts to the rack, and you should replace the tie rod assemblies/boots while your doing it edit: on the pipe, the z3 one doesnt fit e36s, but i used one from an e46. |

The common leaking oil filter housing seal can make it look like you have a leaking rack. You might want to be sure. |

It is the rack, its been advisory for the last 3 years. I've had to top it up a couple of times before. |
