Clunking noise from steering when turning into full lock, clunking noise when driving over bumps, speed bumps and potholes
Over time the thrust bush within the steering rack disintegrates & wears down, this causes excess noise coming from the steering. BMW has recognised this issue and introduced an improvemen” kit- a OEM kit that includes an improved design bush, spring, bung, jubilee clamps for the steering gaiters and a replacement locking screw cap complete with o ring.
The locking screw cap also requires a specialist tool, which can also be purchased from BMW but at a hefty price tag. You also require the BMW-spec steering grease. Up until now there was nowhere in the UK selling this complete kit.
To make the fix as easy as possible, we have created our kit where all the components can be purchased from the same place. Our complete kit comes with the OEM BMW improvement kit (which comes with 2 years BMW warranty), the OEM BMW grease, and the Steering Rack Tool.
