  • go for Powerflex!

  • You probably figured out the solution already but this post is for other people experiencing the same issue. The problem is the flexible coupling or "guibo". The coupling is the rubber section that connects the steering rack to the steering column. I had the same problem and once it was replaced the free play went away and the steering is nice and tight again. If you need a DIY, check E46 fanatics website.

  • did you figure it out? worn down power steering fluid?

  • You can't figure it out cause it's normal. ESPECIAlly at 50 odd miles per hour

  • You can't figure it out cause it's normal.

  • Are there any knocking noise when you violently turn the steering wheel side to side? If so, most likely worn steering coupling. Had the same problem as you and it drove me nuts for 9months! Safely jack up your car and grab a hold onto the steering coupling and feel for a knock or loose play. Check out my vid!

  • bad bushings?
