Title: Quick question about steering knuckle orientation... could use some help!!!
Post by: codyb on June 09, 2012, 04:03:32 PM

For a properly oriented steering knuckle in a 91 318i, when you're laying under the car, the bolt on the knuckle that clamps down on the shaft from the steering rack, should it be flat towards the bottom of the car, or should it be rotated so it's on top of the shaft from the steering rack???

Thanks!!!

Doesn't really matter.  Put it back on to where you can get the wrenches on it easily.
Glad the plug wires worked out for you.
