Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2003 09:53:50 -0400 From: "Luis Rueda" <Luis_Rueda@Interliant.com> Subject: Steering rack questions I just took my '95 M3 (75K miles) to a shop to have some tires mounted & they informed me that the steering rack has side- to--side play & that it needs to be replaced. How difficult is it to replace it? Is this a DIY job? Any special tools? Also on the list of items that needs to be replaced: -Steering hose (cooler hose) is seeping some fluid -RF wheel bearing & both tie rods -Brakes (rotors & pads) -Drive belts Ouch! Lots of parts but good thing is that I can replace most of them myself. TIA! Luis

I have the special tools but when I went to replace the LF wheel bearing, I left them at home so we just did it without. I'm lucky the inner race just pulled right off. As for the rack, if you're replacing the tie rods too, then it'll make life a bit easier. You'll need a somewhat thin 32mm open ended wrench to tighten and torque the tierods to the rack. Chester Oh, and replacing the rack is a fairly straightforward DIY job. --- Luis Rueda <Luis_Rueda@Interliant.com> wrote: > I just took my '95 M3 (75K miles) to a shop to have some tires > mounted & they informed me that the steering rack has side- > to--side play & that it needs to be replaced.
