I have done the following to the car:
New shocks and struts (Bilstien TC)
All four control arms
sway bar links
The tie rods and drag link are nice and tight. I followed the procedure on BMWE34 to adjust the steering box.
There is no play in the front end. none. I have no on-center feel, and it takes alot of concentration (very small steering wheel inputs) to keep it in a straight line.
Any ideas?
