    steering rack swap question

    so i recently bought an e36 m3 rack ( 1998 ) and have a few questions regarding the knuckle and tie rods.

    first off are the e36 tie rods better to use vs the e30 tie rods?

    secondly what part of the knuckle must i cut out/shorten in my picture? is it the piece in between the steering guibo and the bottom u-joint?

    thanks for all the help guys!

    p.s. my car is an 1985 eta.

      When Josh and I did his, all we did was remove the steering guibo and reconnected it with bolts. Everything else we left alone.

              yeah that was my problem is the thread is 52 pages long. i went through 12 pages and decided that most peoples questions were pertaining to airbag vs non-airbag. thanks nitro, no spacers or anything are needed? meaning i can return my e30tech swap kit back :p ?

              does the steering guibo make a difference in steering feel?
