Hi1 I HAVE TO CHANGE MY FRONT CROSSMEMBER/SUBFRAME,ON MY 87 325I, DUE TO THE USUAL SWAYBAR MOUNTS BROKEN,I  NOTE THAT MY STEERING RACK IS MOUNTED ON THE FRONT SET OF HOLES,WAS WONDERING WHAT DIFFERENCE IT WOULD MAKE, USING THE REAR HOLES INSTEAD? SORRY MY CAPS LOCK IS STUCK! BEST REGARDS.

not to sure what holes you mean but TBH the steering rack
is placed were it is for a reason, i'd think to move the rack would miss-place the track rod's (steering arms) also the broken "tabs" for the anti roll bar can be sorted fairly easy by someone with a welder, ive seen a few broken anti roll bar "tabs" that have been repaired with a small (properly sized) bit of flat metal welded in place of the broken tab, once in place just drill a hole through the new piece of metal for the bolt to go through, saves a lot of bother ------------- 2003-530i SE

You can convert to a e36 rack , not too much of a mission and better steering ratio . Good luck . ------------- http://www.buyautoparts.com/power-steering-rack.html" rel="nofollow - Steering Rack |
