[QUOTE="Jipster, post: 10567, member: 97"] Fellow forumers, I have a question thats quite the opposite of what afflicts member jasonn who has posted here about a heavy steering problem.... My problem is an overly light feeling steering, which feels vague, doesnt really feel connected to the road, as well as some free play present in the steering (somewhat fixed - see below) = results in lack of confidence when going at speed, especially in corners... After much private consultation with sifus like our mister 535i to no avail, I have decided to post the question to a wider audience... does anyone have any theories as to the cause? FYI car is E30 320i 2 door 1984, rack has been rebuilt at least a few months ago by ah foo & friends at optimum auto and I have been over there just yesterday to have it looked at and the boys there did look at a washer and what looked like a spring which was 'adjusted' (not sure what was done) which led to a heavier more reassuring feel at first but alas still not satisfactory.... obviously the short drive around the block didnt reveal that problem was still present.... OK, the car is goddamn old granted but it didnt use to feel like this so I figure something happened which also means that it can probably be fixed.... I dont normally make a habit of going very fast, nor am a track star but I do enjoy my rust bucket a lot and this problem has mad me feel very depressed about driving it..... Please advise oh learned ones..... [/QUOTE]
