    Loose U-joint, [non AWD steering column replacement] fitment question!

    Hey, I need to replace the u-joint on my 90' IX. It is probably impossible to replace just the U-joint so I was going to also grab the 2 linkage arms on each side of the joint in question (the lower one). Do you guys know if this will fit right on from a RWD e30 to my AWD e30?

      I don't think so. I have worked on both types of E30's. The u-joint looks quite different from an regular RWD car.
      IX one.

      Regular E30 one.

        you can replace just #1, you don't need to replace the other parts unless there was some sort of freak damage to them.
