This video was a God send. Thank you. I'm changing racks as you did but I went with a Z3 rack and things were shown so well in your video that when I got lost all I had to view your work and things all worked out great. One thing I did do, because my engine was in, was to get the old rack out and new rack in I loosened the engine mounts and lifted the engine an inch and the rack came right out and the new one went right in. You showing the power steering hoses and how you got them to fit was so very helpful. So thanks again!!

Thanks for the very clear demo of the arrangement and bending angles. Everybody else just says "minor bending required".

No problem. That's exactly what I had trouble with too, no details of the bending required so made sure to cover that

Hi. Thank you for this awesome info. I just want to ask about locking the e30 inner tie rods to the e46 steering rack (since there is no locking plate used). Thank you.

so, the two spacers required are for the steeeirn column to extend the reach so that the column can be inserted into the rack? am i right? are there any spacers required at the mounting points of the rack onto the subframe?

Only video showing the bend angle. Thank you. I’m assuming this bend should work on a z3 rack?

No problem! I actually found it to be pretty straight forward. Routing and bending the lines was the trickiest part I think

Thanks for explaining the bend. I am going to be doing this in the next week and will be coming back to this video for reference.

Best tutorial for this swap on youtube! (even the germans struggle with the some explanations). Thanks! How much of a pain do you think this is without having the engine removed? (4 cylinder in my case)
@wheelsandwelds55653 жыл бұрын
Thanks! Im not sure how the 4 cyl compares to the 6 cyl but I know the 6 cyl oil pan interferes with the rack removal so you have to bend the bottom mounting tabs to be able to slide it out downwards instead of frontwards. I imagine the ujoint from the steering column to the rack might be a little tricky as well with everything in the way.

DAMN I thought u were going to drop the engine in with the rack studs reversed. Good catch that would of sucked in 10 years.
@wheelsandwelds55654 жыл бұрын
That would have been brutal! I had them from the top down just during the fitment of the rack so I did not have to bolt it down fully

Hi which company bolt spacer did you use? And what is the rack end you use?

Thanks for posting this. I’m about to swap the same rack into my E30. Surprised no one asked but how does the rack feel?
@wheelsandwelds55653 жыл бұрын
This is my first e30 and I didn't even drive it before the swap because it wasn't registered for the road but I can tell you the steering is very quick now especially at high way speeds.

Do the e30 steering rack bolts for the Oil lines fin in the e46 rack?
@wheelsandwelds55654 жыл бұрын
I don't remember to be 100% honest but I want to say yes because the factory e30 oil lines bolted up fine. If the bolts were different, there would probably be issues
