  • Hey everyone,
    Today we are jumping back into the e30 build and there are multiple issues we need to address. Ever since we swapped steering racks, the car has had an odd set of behaviors that really shouldn’t be there. Firstly, the car lacks power steering. The rack also seems to have issues self-centering. The more I do to this car the more I seem to uncover that needs doing. A never ending project...
    Thank you for watching, consider liking & subscribing for more.

    It’s stuff like this why I stopped watching TV altogether. Love this channel.

    I feel so bad I did not ask the question about modifying the firewall in the steering rack swap video. I do have two e30’s and one is an air bag car. I had to do the firewall mod for steering rack swap. Make sure to tighten the steering shaft nut where the spline shaft slides. ( right by the firewall) it tends to get loose. I don’t know if you have an LSD, but 3.73 is pretty good. Racing diffs have rebuilt kit for lsd for 40% lockout

    Next time you have to work under the knee bolster or steering wheel, just remove the seat. By far the simplest way to get some room. Keep Pushing.

    I totally would've assumed alignment first before anything. Maybe if it sorta felt like it was binding it'd clue me into something else, but initially I just kept thinking, it's an alignment issue. Nice work.

    Love the content man teaching me how to work on my 89 e30 sedan. I’m curious to see how much you’ve spent on parts for the e30 so far and how much more money you’ll be investing. Nevertheless love the style in which you teach v v in depth simple explanations if you were in TikTok you’d blow up.

    Most people use the purple tag rack off the e46
    The z3 rack is a bit problematic and twitchy

    I have standard e30 rack, and most of the times is so heavy, never tried to let go the wheel to see if center it self, but I also have some leakings, but since sometimes I have power steering and sometimes I dont I might need to check if the same thing as you.
    Really liking your video, I feel like more people should watch it

    I'm really enjoying watching your filming and editing style evolve, I like the intro on this one very Tarantinoesque ... Was wondering if you had any plans for a wrap or some paint on the E30? Keep up the good work.

    • @HunterDirection
      @HunterDirection  4 місяці тому +1

      Likely the car will get wrapped in the short term a real paint restoration down the line. The color isn't too common so I wouldn't want to pay for it to be done cheaply. I'd rather wait until I can afford to do it right.

    I had the same issue when I went over to a Z3 rack. Similar, But what I had was memory steer. When I would do a full turn left or right, once I was straight the steering wheel would have a tilt to the side I was turning. So if I was turning left once I was straight the steering wheel would be towards the left, once driving straight for a little bit the steering wheel would be back to center. My strut bearings were the issue. I didn’t feel this with the old oem rack, but going Z3 heighten the issue I’m sure I had with OEM rack already.

  • @likits1999

    The failure to return to center, did it have it after the swap and before the alignment?

    • @likits1999
      @likits1999 4 місяці тому

      NVM. You fixed it. I'm having a failure to return to center on a 2014 320i after I replaced the broken control arms but I think the electric power steering rack suffered damage during the collision, even though it is not noticeable. Don't get rid of that car! Change the color to white if you can.
