    Tie rods for Z3 rack?

    What tie rods should I use for my z3 rack? It's apparent that the z3 ones don't fit e30's. I've heard that you can also use e36 ones instead of e30 ones.

    I'm running e30 tie rods on a Z3 rack. There aren't tabs for lock plates on some Z3 racks (at least mine didn't have them) so I just locktite blue'd them on. No issues, and it has seen track use.

          E30 or E36 outer tie rods will work

            So, what your saying is a regular e36 rack would not need for the tire rods changed for a swap, but z3 is different?

              I don't know anything about the Z3 tie rods--my guess is that they should be the same P/N as the normal E36 tie rods.

                They are all the same. The only difference is price.
