The steering column of the vehicle is ZF brand, but the repair kit is from thyssenkrupp.Bushing is different. Was there any problem in the installation? My vehicle has a ZF steering column and I cannot find a repair kit.

Hello . I hav an e60 2009 . Knocking in the steering rack . Does it has thia kind of kit ur using ?? Coz i cant find any parts for it . Help

[@user-phearle]

You can check to see if there's an adjusting stud where the steering column meets the rack and try tightening it a half turn and see if that helps.

[@hetanosgago9508]

And I see many f30s every week, some of them has more clunky some of them less clunking knocking. But when ever you start the engine the disgusting knocking sound disappearing. I'm pretty sure there is something else that knocking. And apparently this repair kit doesn't do,,, doesn't change anything while you driving.

[@nimanazeri1742]

Hi, could you be able to find a part? Mine is same model as yours

[@hetanosgago9508]

I replaced this bushing but nothing changed, yes now when the engine is off there is much less knocking, but still some noise, and when engine running and i start to move slowly I still have a knock when playing with the steering wheel (right left). I thought it will disappear but it's not. So this bushing doesn't change anything. I just spent money for nothing.

[@user-phearle]

The bushing will eventually need to change, the new one is an upgrade to the existing one. Probably you need to check the inner rack ends, they tend to go also.

[@whitehell504]

[@mingyang4901]

just had this replaced but now my steering is way too tight and wont self center. any idea? thanks

[@Andy-zy6yk]

It’s too tight, had the same issue and had to loosen it. Also never got rid of the knock on mine. I assume you’ve sorted this by now anyway

That is the wrong grease , you should use the bmw fb-1 grease , and also you need to use 70 nm torque to tighten the plate !

Does this bushing being bad also cause some weird steering feel when going straight?

[@jbatmk]

Does it feel like the steering is moving without you putting any input?

Take it to the alignment stand to have it diagnosed

[@dopiaza2006]

Yes, it can do exactly that

[@jakesomarathne7170]

Can too much tightening cause steering to go off ? How to find a sweet spot?

[@user-phearle]

Tighten it until it is flush with the housing or until the knocking stops. Too much tightening will cause it not to recenter when driving and also stiffer than normal

[@dopiaza2006]

@@user-phearle Tighten to 55Nm ffs

[@antanasrapkevicius3897]

There is a very special tool to correctly torque this up as you have to measure the backlash at 3 positions etc. All this simple youtube DIY crap is a joke. Incorrect fitting will lead to permanent damage to the steering rack shaft itself, as it is 2 part shaft and it gets worn too, not just the bush. Tightening up until you get no knock is so pathetic as the centre is always more worn where you get the knock, not full lock position, where it would become way too tight. Either way, not my car, just saying.

[@mehmeterkis3959]

Cheers for the vid, just wondering did the car knock when you were driving ?

[@ThatCampingLad]

Did you find out? Mine is doing this and I THINK i can feel / hear a bit of looseness under my foot, I thought it might be a suspension part but i think it might be the rack as it does have this issue.

[@mehmeterkis3959]

RyanMCR i changed that part and the knocking is gone when shaking the wheel and the steering wheel feels so much better and sharper, unfortunately mine had a bit more of a problem than that and i got the struts replaced and ive still got the slightest noise when driving and tick when slow steering

[@hondavolos3124]

Part number For bmw x5 e70??

[@GuessWhoXCZ]

Did you mount it without a torque wrench? This is a bit risky in my opinion. The nut should be tightened at 70 Nm and then loosen by 60 degrees. After that you need to check if there is no resistance on the steering wheel. It is important that after the turning maneuver, the steering wheel returns to the central point by itself - if it is not, you need to loosen the screw a little. Ps. Has the knocking stopped after installing the repair kit in your car? Everything works as it should? Does the steering wheel run heavier than before? Regards

[@zaimzarif7508]

hey.. i was wondering does 70 Nm goes to all nuts on all parts for all cars? if not.. where do you get this info. like you say, just to be safe.. i do not want to over tightened it or under. appreciate if you could reply me.

[@GuessWhoXCZ]

@@zaimzarif7508 - The repair kit comes with an instruction manual - it describes step by step what you need to do and what torque to use to tighten the screw. If you have ISTA+ on your laptop, you will also find all the information you need. Have a nice day✌️

What i did was tighten till you feel it bottom out then loosen it about 100 degrees. Knocking went and steering self centers when driving.
