    Awesome. I am getting a quote for the "easy" way right now. I will let you know.

    Did you use the spacers/cut the firewall?

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.
