E30 Steering Rack Swap

In this video I will show you how to install an E36 steering rack on the E30 with the M20 engine. Im also installing the Chase Bays power steering kit. A must upgrade for any E30 and well worth the money, especially if you DIY.

Parts:
Lemforder E36 Tie rods - Left (32111139315) Right (32111139316)
BMW Tie Rod Lock Plate - 32111140464

i used this initially in 2017. but then it leaked. then the supplier made a e46 purple rack. this is the best so far. significantly better feel and feedback than the e36 rack. i dont go back to e36 rack anymore. if you have not had the 46 rack, you should. the best on e30!

I am midway through the process of doing this swap on my car, and have watched this video several times. Very helpful. Subscribed.

Thank you so much for turning me on to this kit. I got myself a z4 rack and have been putting off the install because i did not want to deal with bending those lines. worth every penny to me.

man, this is like the only video I can find on a rack swap. thanks for putting this together!

I did a rack swap twice.... The used one I got leaked worse than the one I was replacing. So I bought a rebuilt one. And works great. I was much quicker the second time.

Thanks for taking the time to do this video it was a big help. You get 10 out of 10 stars on the step by step process. Keep the e30 video coming.

excellent video...wish you would have shown when you connected the steering rack to the steering shaft...but excellent job.

good job
I never understood wooden rulers though as wood shrinks and expands

Great video but for those doing the chase bays swap, make sure you read the chase bay install guide. This video added a few extra steps as I blindly followed the placement on his rack / pump.

Awesome work mate! This video inspired me and I just bought the Z3 Steering Rack for my E30 318is :)

Awesome walk through. Best one I've seen yet! Where is the nightmare video you talked about?

[lardoretardo]

I didnt have to bore out the holes for the spacer. I just pressed them in with a bench vise.
