Steering Coupler

[Dirtbleed]

How do I get this apart and back together with a IE Urethane Steering Coupler?
thnx

Remove the pinch bolts on both ends of the coupler. Then dismount the rack and slide it forward enough for the rack to disengage from the coupler. Finish by pulling the coupler off the column.

10-4. I figured it would suck to replace. That rubber bushing is gone. Do I just grind off the old hardware and replace with new bolts?
thnx

That bushing does not fit! It is a mistake on their website. Notice it does not list the e30. I destroyed a steering coupler before I found out the the holes did not line up.

thnx bro,
I just ordered the stock rubber bushing. Don't want to have to screw around with the IE one not fitting.

Thanks for the heads up

Oh great, I have one sitting in my garage for my e30 and now it wont fit? Nice... Way to go IE.

If you drop the steering rack it will make for some extra room and space depending on your attack. Taking it out isn't very difficult, but it is more of a task to align the center notches. G/L

so how hard or easy was this?

If I think I need a new steering rack should I just wait to get my new one and THEN do this?

[Heysüß]

and are you suuuuure the ie one doesn't fit? (crosses fingers)
