    E30/E36 rack & pinion question

    So the rack & pinion is bad in my E30 ....My question is that I heard that I am able to use an E36 rack & pinion and that its better because it takes less turns to lock? Is this accurate or am I hearing BS? Thanks!

    Fact... but you will need to modify your steering knuckle to make it fit correctly.

    Yes it's a critical portion of the install, and beer as previously stated. If you need a good recipe for tacos send me an IM and I'll help you out.

    This is one of the main reasons I'm selling my E28, it doesn't have rack & pinion and therefore you can't do that mod.

    Anyone bumping a 2 year old thread deserves an autoban. Can't that be setup within the forum software?

    Particularly when said tool appears to be a non-sponsor vendor trying to push their wares.
