Play in steering, but no "twitch" when braking

[danewilson77]

^ no worries.

Be advised, it's relatively easy to work on the 2002 and that project was a huge PITA. I don't even want to think about doing that on the E46 without major parts removed from my engine bay (intake, throttle body, DISA, intake manifold, etc...). I would just say skip that or pay somebody to do it for you.

Naaa man. I think the diy is no worse than vanos for sure.

it's not an issue of steps, it's an issue of getting your hands in there and taking off bolts/putting back on. I'll take a look later but off the top of my head I think it's prob annoying to do

to conclude my thought on this old thread, I'm not dealing with changing mine any time soon.

lets play find the guibo:



FYI, there should be an alternator sitting in the empty spot where those wires go. The hose in the top right (foreground) is from the power steering reservoir.

definitely easier to work the guibo from underneath, I think it ended up taking me about 30 minutes, not really that big a deal, but you do need the right socket, and having some flexibility in extension length or a flex join probably helps. (and small wimpy arms like mine)

Nothing to it from a DIY standpoint. You've got this

BTW, I got my ZHP back on the road yesterday. The hammered guibo took all the play out of my steering. It's nice driving with firm feel and no slack.
