Several BMWs utilize a rubber u-joint that is notorious for failing with age. Depending on your vehicle, we often have upgraded components to strengthen your steering system and eliminate this failure prone part. Additionally, we do offer factory replacement components from OE suppliers and Genuine BMW.
The factory E36 u-joint utilizes a rubber coupling which cracks over time, causing sloppy steering. This upgraded U-joint from the E34 eliminates the rubber coupling, giving a direct and tight steering feel, a great modification for older E36s. This is also a direct replacement for BMW # 32311151454. Installation Note: Since the E36 did not have a provision on the lower part of the shaft for a pinch bolt, you will need to drill one to make this u joint work. Don't fret, this not a hard task. Simply install the u joint onto the e36 shaft and take a drill that same size as the bolt hole and drill through the aluminum shaft. Keep in mind this does not ruin your E36 steering shaft. If you ever wanted to go back to the stock application, it would all still work.
