feeling ticked

[1992-325iguy]

Hi guys. I just got done replacing my passenger side outer tie rod. And that fixed most of my problem. My car shook very bad when I made left turns. Now I feel a slight tick or shake in the steering wheel. It doesn't matter if I'm turning or going straight. I'm thinking, hopeing, that this is just my control arm. And not my rack and pinion. What do you guys think?[???1]

Generally your steering rack is not going to have any effect on pull or your steering wheel being off. When mine went it just leaked badly, no other issue.

thanks for the response Big Daddy. My boss said it's probably my brakes because it does it a little worse under hard braking. I'm thinking it might be my inner tie rod because it shook again today when I made a really long, tight, fast left turn. I'm going to replace all of the suspension with high perfomance parts eventually anyway. Just can't afford it right now, and looking for a more affordable fix for now. By the way.

Outer tie rod replacement...

Hi there,

I understand that your outer tie rod end was replaced...
It's possible that the culprit could more easily be the inner tie rod, no?

Hope this helps,
