RE: 535i steering issue

[GRobWorkII@xxxxxxx]

While you're at it, check the track rod idler arm, as well as the lock nut on 
the steering shaft splines.  (It's just inside the firewall, above the 
pedals.)  Also have a look at the mounting points for the steering box itself 
- - they are known to tear out.

 much play when weels are lifted from ground. I know the rear bushings are
