CRAZY Power Steering Leak

My e70 3.0 has developed a massive power steering leak. It's spraying from the area of PS cooler pipes below the upper radiator hose, something like a quart in about 10-15 seconds. I haven't taken...

It was definitely a northern car. My buddy is an ASC Cert. mechanic from Michigan. He was stunned, but said his northern Jeep looks just like mine underneath. Both the frames I bought are used,...

Right! I honestly felt like throwing up when I thought about my daughter driving it recently... At least I'm good with a wrench. This would have totaled it otherwise.

Rear Subframe Rotted!

Bit of history here. When we bought our X5 I knew it had a little bit of rust here and there, but the body is straight and very clean. I'm in Florida, so that's par for the course. I didn't know...

Thanks! Yeah, that concerned me too. I very closely compared the left vs the right. They seem identical. I agree, local driving for a few days until I'm convinced it's okay. Luckily my commute to...

I honestly didn't think about that carrier bearing in the oil pan supports housing. A clip will have to be in place.

So, the original is at Napa as a core exchange. Left side original was in my...

I was thinking that, but really there's no way it could come out. Not unless the suspension was undone, in which case I'm thinking the CV would be the least of my problems. I could see it plausibly...

I did not reuse the shaft, and honestly I didn't compare them. This is my first X-Drive BMW... It's amazing that's even a thing! I'm glad you didn't have to deal with what I'm going through. It's...
