BMW E30 3-series to E36 Steering Rack Conversion Kit

This kit includes everything needed to allows you to easily install a later model e36 or e46 steering rack into an e30 3-series 1984-1990.  This includes the spacers and hardware to shorten the lower steering universal shaft and also spacers to mount the steering rack to the car.

If your BMW E30 has an airbag, all you will need is the spacers to mount the steering rack.

There are two main advantages to upgrade your steering rack:
  • Quicker Steering Ratio - All later 3-series steering racks have a quicker lock-to-lock steering ratio which results in a much more crisp and precise steering feel.  This is far from a subtle difference!
  • Availability - Good condition e30 steering racks are becoming harder to come by in good used condition and later model steering units are much more readily available and priced nearly the same if not cheaper in many cases.  Even if you are not interested in the performance upgrade this may end up as a more practical replacement for an aged/leaking steering rack.

Spacers are high quality 6061-T6/T651/T6511 aluminum.  Made in the USA.  Detailed instructions are included with every kit.  Pictures are of the actual kit being sold.  The last pictures shows this kit installed on a steering joint.
