Peeps....

Got a steering wobble/vibration on my E36 cab.

So far I've.....

Poly bushes on lower arms, with new lower arms at the same time.

Poly bushed the rear arms.

Tracking done, all good.

Checked the tie rod arms inner and outer, no visable play etc, the inner arms dont look very old either.

Is there a known fault with the steering rack??

I was going to try a steering fluid change first, and if that doesn't work considder a new rack but thought I'd get some tips before I fork out for one!!

I had this and it was a sticky brake calliper that eventually got very hot, took out and regreased, end of problem, not saying it is you problem, but it might be?

Have the discs checked !

If there is no excessive play in the steering wheel (engine off) then the rack is okay.

It's not the disc as its not happening under braking.

Had a look today, I found play in the UJ's on the lower steering column.

Bought a new one on eBay for £25, genuine BMW new old stock unit, cha ching!!!!

Hopefully that will sort it
