E36 rack swap shop in Denver?

[blefevre]

I know there are a lot of people that don't post here often, so hopefully someone has had this done.

I'm looking to get a quote for swapping an E36 steering rack into my airbag E30. I am looking for a shop that has actually done this before so they won't charge me tons of hours and mess up. Autosport werks doesn't like to put in anything but stock.

Let me know if anyone has had a shop do this before. Also need a new flex disc, but any shop should be able to do that.

I am working on getting my cars safety up to par, and my steering is next on the list.

I know Alex has done it before. I don't foresee it being *too* difficult. Just messy if your power-steering leaks (which every old BMW does). Definitely go for a non-m Z3 rack.

Mine leaked like crazy, I run no power steering right now so it's somewhat dry. however the oil pan leaks so it's still super messy under there. It's not that hard, but I have zero time until winter at best.

I'd rather find a shop that can get a deal on rebuilt E36 racks, put it in, be safe and happy a few days later.

Chris could definitely do it for you with the best turnaround.

His steering is pretty toast.

+1 for Chris

suspension, brakes, broken seat, etc. Can't do everything at once. There is a deadzone, nothing is shaking or going crazy.

Contacting teh SCR. Worse case I just replace the flex disc to fix the play and call it good. However I would love power steering back.

you could do it yourself...

Further up. I have no time. I am busy working on my house.

Andrew put a Z3 rack in his E30. Don't think it took him too long.

[dubseven]

Yep it was pretty easy.

manual steering ftw

Brad, I can do it for you. Probably could bust it out in a day. My schedule will lighten up here in a bit. I'm trying to remember my parts list. I'm assuming you will provide the parts. If you can't find anyone to do it, hit me up and we can work something out.
