BMW F32 Steering knock - FIX!

[@ellisspeirs2296]

Great video, the tension on the spring is the tricky bit. Love how you showed us the protrusion of the cap. Thank you sir!

[@rosco162]

You could always mark the cap to the body of the rack to get it back to the same 'torque' it was

[@chenry4599]

Thanks for this video. I have been told I need a new rack as this fix don’t always work, is this true? I have the same car and my ride is bouncy and clunks at low speeds and over holes and bumps. Both track rod ends, front suspension arm and right shock have been changed but the problem still exist and the car feels crap to drive. What do you suggest ?

[@TheJuiced300]

hey mate would this possibly fix play in the rack arm itself? slight up and down play

[@collinsnfellows]

Yes I believe so

[@rd-one3178]

I have BMW 320d e91 it's same part?

[@rogerhanbury677]

Where did you get the repair kit from ?

[@bigboss2961]

Can get it off ebay or off bmw

[@bigboss2961]

Got bmw f30 320d same problem got the part from ebay update my bme is f30 320d lci 2015 the rack part is different hard to get it out if its just f30 u will be ok

[@merkon5]

what does it mean if the bush has been replaced with the repair kit fitted and the knocking appeared again after 1 week?

[@collinsnfellows]

Potentially needs tensioning down more

[@gvidassalkauskas1015]

How do you think . This detail is the same for bmw F11 2013 year

[@rozayredd7577]

My 04 Mini Cooper use to do that rip to her & I have the same 4series same color it makes a weird noise when I turn the wheel like it’s grinding against some but I can’t seem to figure out what’s wrong

[@Kw-sv2mo]

Can this problem cause play on the steering rack that has similar symptoms of a bad track rod end

[@collinsnfellows]

Yes - vague kind of steering feel

[@R1d3rBul]

Hi, do you know is it comaptible with sport steering rack, it looks a little bit different ...

[@collinsnfellows]

Believe all the same

[@R1d3rBul]

@@collinsnfellows no , actualy there are ZF steering racks and the repair kit is not compatible with it.

[@devashinnarainan1314]

Same issue with f30 2013 model. Costed R1800 for labour and part at Bmw . Issue sorted

[@jovhansingh2145]

howzit, did you also experience some rattling over rough surface?

[@chrisskedstrengthandcondit192]

Got this part for my m135 f21 going too attempt myself on the weekend, how long roughly did it take you ?

[@steveo2009100]

Hi I am getting a strange noise when going round corner’s from my vents sounds like something is moving in the vents but am not sure if it’s coming from the vents 2014 116d ?

[@collinsnfellows]

Have no idea on that mate - sorry

[@catalindavid7813]

Same noise, same problem, mine seems like its moving something under the passanger seat or passanger door panel, could not find issue and it drives me crazy. Did you have any update steveo? Cheers

[@e11b10]

Did your steering feel slightly heavier than before? Not an alarming difference but just a tad to the point where you noticed?

[@collinsnfellows]

I felt that it was vague in comparison when the new bush was installed

[@PistonPerspective]

Was your steering slightly numb and loose maybe a bit jumpy on centre when driving straight?

[@collinsnfellows]

I noticed how bad it was when I did this mod.

[@PistonPerspective]

@@collinsnfellows and it fixed it?

[@adrianobrumat7600]

Replaced mine but the knocking still there when car turned off

[@collinsnfellows]

Try tightening the cap a little more 👍🏻

[@nerdygeek3308]

Good stuff! How did it feel on the road before fixing? I have f34, same sound when still and engine off but when driving I feel a little play when moving wheels left or right, regardless of speed all the same , does not feel solid.

[@collinsnfellows]

Felt the steering was way more direct after this job. Would recommend

[@fabius36515]

Did you have the same noise also with the engine on?

[@collinsnfellows]

No noise with engine on as the power steering was giving assist

[@arthurpereirad]

Boa noite, onde consigo comprar esse reparo para a minha 320i ano 2014?

[@rekap69]

pode comprar no ebay,fica a volta dos 25 euros mais portes

[@arthurpereirad]

@@rekap69 você tem a referência da peça?

[@sale666]

What year is your car? I have the 10.2017 LCI have the same issue! Could it be that it still has the same crappy bushing?

[@neilmick6778]

Don't believe the the revised bushing came out until 2019 so none would have left the factory with it.

[@philip.aocallaghan4602]

Have tried to fit this into my car, but it wouldn't fit.. went in so far and stopped solid. removed the rubber seals to see if it made a difference but no.. a waste of time

[@collinsnfellows]

Could it have been out slightly? Rotate so the V slots into the steering rack V

[@jt.vlogofficial773]

Great job

[@Andy-zy6yk]

Just ordered this kit for our F21 and F20. How long did it take to do roughly? Also what jack are you using? Thanks

[@collinsnfellows]

Took me about hour. Longest part is jacking up and removing the under trays I've got a 2 tonne low profile racing jack + 2 stands

[@Andy-zy6yk]

@@collinsnfellows Thanks

[@Andy-zy6yk]

Just had this done today and it hasn’t solved the knock for me. At first the garage set it to 70nm and it felt like I had no power steering and the wheel wound not centre. They loosened it and now it feels some what normal. I’m hoping it’s been fitted correctly. Any ideas why it might not have solved it? It sounds just like yours before the repair. Andy
