Steering noise

oma3710 · 10-11-2019, 06:21 AM

I am getting noise when moving steering wheel back and forth with car off and in park. While I am driving I get no noise. Please look at video below. I jacked up car and tried to move things with no noise.

I honestly think its this part.

Yes, many of us have this issue. Hoping eventually BMW recognizes this as a widespread problem and covers the repair... I mean, if you have to produce a repair kit, there's clearly a problem.

I don't know what the long term result will be if you do it like the guy in the video but be aware that the way this is supposed to be done is very precise using special tools including a micrometer gauge to measure the play.

I was going to say the same thing, this guy just swapped the piece and hoped for the best. Definitely not the way it's meant to be done.
