Did the Z3 Rack Conversion and It's Awesome

I've never heard of using that one Details!

As for this one, I put the spacers on the top to eliminate bumpsteer. I just reused my [new on the car] E30 tierod ends.

So you left the inner tie rods that came on the rebuilt maval rack on and just swapped the outer tie rod ends?

See post #22 above. I removed the Z3 tie rods altogether, including the ends.

I see. So it is not possible to use the z3 tie rod ends at all? Sorry for the confusion I am doing the upgrade right now. I damaged my e30 tie rods upon removal and am going to have to buy new ones if I can't use the z3 ones.

E36 or e36/7 (z3) have tie rods that fit perfectly into e30 knuckles.

Im running a z4 rack with e36 tie Rod ends; installed in an e30.

the e46 and z4 have a larger diameter taper
