    Default 520i steering issues

    I am hoping I don't have to replace my steering box...
    My steering had a little bit of play and wouldn't pass the MOT inspection. I checked out all of the tie rods and linkages all look fine. I have adjusted the screw in the top of the steering box. But the steering is ether loose with play or solid as a rock and really hard to drive. I think I will have to replace the box but wanted to ask if anyone has had this problem.
    Does any of the other 5 series boxes interchange with mine? I have a BMW "M".
    Any ideas?

    What's your mileage Wiggy? I have a 1990 car that has just over 200,000 miles on it. I've still got the original 'box in and have only had to adjust it slightly, at 186k and 199k.

    HTH,
