The steering rack in my latest project (91 318is) is toast. I have a friend who has parted several E30's (325's and 318's) and offered me a spare steering rack. Problem is, he doesn't remember if the rack he's offering me came off a M20 or M42 E30.
Are there any differences between the steering rack on a M20 & M42 E30? If so, what are the differences so we can tell which E30 model the rack came from?
