Steering wheel knocking, where to find gelzer 1318dl
I found this video, it's it russian, but maybe some AI can translate it these days 🤣 In any case, I haven't come across thus repair on any other bmw channels or forums And I can't seem to find this part anywhere, gelzet 1318dl So apparently these plastic shims wear out and cause loseness, which makes the steering knock/clunk. This video shows what he does, seems like a pretty simply job. Any thoughts/experiences?? https://youtu.be/6OI4Zn10m4I?si=eDpH0234dB47tSFP |

Andrew these parts won't be on realoem.
Internal parts don't show up on realoem, such as internal bearings/seals for alternators, starters, transfer cases, differentials etc. Manufacturers build these parts for bmw, but bmw doesn't sell the internal components, such as that annoying single vanos bolt on E39 that tightens until clockwise and is so easy to strip. |

Ouch yeah I thought it was like the steering u-joint.
Whole part from a junk yard and dissect?

Will probably be worn out.
Maybe buy a brand new from Amazon, not sure if this is any good A-Premium Power Steering Rack and Pinion Assembly, with Boots, Compatible with BMW E53 X5 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006, No Servotronic, Replace # 32136761823 32106763342 https://a.co/d/9BPrXzO Or maybe upgrade to servotronic lol? I figure my pre lci doesn't have servotronic https://xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/...t-success.html |

Had the same knocking for quite a while. Tried lubing the joint, tightening it, etc. but finally broke down and bought a new double joint (32306758076), which fixed it.

Ahhh I guess won't hurt to replace it as well...
These are not cheap, about $300. Oh well, gotta get it done, thanks for the advice! |

You could try backing the bolts holding the lower to the upper columns out (at the u joint), checking the fit of the joint, where the two attach, etc., and then re-torquing the bolts. There are a few threads on the board about this working for others. My u joint was just worn out, so it didn’t work for me, but hopefully you’ll be luckier.
