Hi again everyone.
This concerns my 88 325is. The steering rack is definitely bad. There is play coming from the driver side of the rack where the tie rod and rack meet. I noticed when going through turns the front wheels are shuddering through the corners. I plan on replacing it with a working used one very soon and I wonder in the mean time, since it is still a daily driver and I really donʻt know the mechanics inside of the rack itself, is there any danger of something breaking loose in the rack causing any loss of steering when going through a turn due to this play I have noticed. appreciate any feed back on this one.
