[QUOTE="e34_lover, post: 651523, member: 16259"] I do believe its the steering column. Depending on the age of your car, that bush is around 15 years old. People never change it because they just don't know. The mechanic doesn't know either. I changed so many parts before I changed it because my mechanic didn't know what the issue was. That bush is situated right next to your headers so heat really screws it up. It is very rare for the steering rack to be causing that much freeplay that you can feel it. I changed my steering column and play was gone. With regards to who can fix your rack, I don't know. I fix my own cars now. Sorry! Could you clarify what you mean by this? By the way, did you get your old steering rack back or did they keep it... [/QUOTE]
