The steering shaft universal joint is worn out, or so it seems. Get someone to move the wheel like that while you observe the U joint. It's right below the firewall, between the steering shaft and steering rack input shaft. There should be ZERO slop in it. If it clicks, it's scrap.
Steering noise / looseness from bad tie rod?
Hi guys,
I've noticed the steering wheel on my '91 325iX has movement whether driving or parked and makes noise. I know the passenger tie rod needs replacement. Could that cause this steering wheel issue? Video below, thanks.
