    Z4 sticky steering

    Hi everyone,

    My z4 got the sticky steering disease [emoji22],
    And i saw that even if i replace the whole steering rack it's still going to come back due to the heat and bad manufacturing.

    The solution i think is to add some grease inside the mechanism.
    Ive seen some DIY thread online but its not very detailed, and i don't frel really confy to drill the stuff myself.

    Now my question is, does anybody knows a good mechanic that can do it for me.

    Please guys i really beed the help here. [emoji120][emoji51]

      Can you explain what this disease is and how old your z4 is? My new z4 has a "heavy steering" I would say, a bit difficult to turn for power assisted steering at low speeds (parking etc). Maybe I should have it checked out at AGMC?

          I wanted to ask the veterans here, if they know anybody that would swap my electronic steering for a hydraulic one.
          I read that 3 series can fit with some mods.
          Else would the z4m be a direct fit?

          Love this car so much but the flaws from poor design are so much i just cant understand why such a big company as BMW wont adresse those issues.

          Even my soft top lock is jammed on the right aide ive been truing to unlock that beast manually for like 3 days im running out of resources

                With the festive season on us, it may be best to give Shak a call, Octane do great work and are extremely knowledgeable.

                Just google Octane Car Service Dubai and ask for Shak.
