    E36 - 328is rack swap questions

    I think I've sourced late e36 rack from 328is. It is a naked piece, no tie rods or steering lines attached.

    Please help me to put the list of part together of what needed to get it swapped. Car in question is 1991 318i, no air bag.

    1. e30 tie rod assemlies
    2. e30 rack boots (or e36?)
    3. e30 tie rod locking washers (or e36?)
    4. e36 high preassure steering hose (wich one?)
    5. Any low preassue hoses?
    6. e30 Steering fluid reservuar .

    Anything else?

    Thank you guys.

        I used the stock E30 hoses when the E46 rack went into mine. Just bent the one a little, I mean just a little, more of a twist than a bend.
        1990 325is - sterling silver, very nice, maybe for sale

            e46 ZHP/ sport rack (purple tag) is faster ratio than on the e36 and doesn't suffer from the same horrible "floating, loosness" that most standard e46 racks have. It is also an easier conversion (for RHD cars at least)... also e36 racks are getting old, e46 are newer
