Did you find out how much balancing was required on the crank?
Shouldn't have needed much.

Are the steering links the last bit of your suspension overhaul (for now)? They were for me, and man you are gonna love the feeling of a perfectly straight-tracking E34 at high speeds (even with net zero toe, like I have). The tiny bit of on-center "play" starts to make sense in the context of "autobahn" cruising.
You pretty much have the same control arm set-up as me, but probably a much newer steering box; I'm excited to hear how well you think it drives with all new steering-related suspension parts. It's still no rack & pinion, like my E36 M3 w/ all new suspension and a 330i rack swap, but it's a world of difference compared to a worn out E34. The first time the P.O. drove mine with the refreshed and upgraded suspension, he pitched it far too early and hard into a turn, expecting the old, vague boat
Nice, then you know! It's a seriously good feeling.
If you're doing the subframe bushes with the subframe in the car, hit me up before you start if you want my DIY hack approach, which only took me about 30min per side to push out the old rubber bushings and install poly.
Installed the new steering components as well as a new CSB and guibo, and had the car aligned shortly after. What a difference in response and quickness in steering, and so much less vibration at higher speeds. Small win and totally worth it.
Oh nice, love my Volvo fan. Have you mentioned what radiator that is?
