Steering rack limiters (rack lock limiter) BMW E36 E46 E8x E9x

Steering limiters for BMW E36, E46, E8x, and E9x control the maximum steering angle and prevent wheels from contacting the chassis or body at extreme steering angles.

This is a simple but very effective solution for modified vehicles, drifting, and sports use, where at larger steering angles, tire friction with control arms, shock absorbers, or wheel wells often occurs.

Installation takes place between the steering rod and the steering rack. By adjusting the height of the limiter, the maximum steering angle can be precisely set according to the specific vehicle setup.

Main Advantages

• prevents wheel rubbing against chassis or body

• ideal for drift and modified vehicles

• easy installation

• possibility of individual adjustment

• protection of steering components

Technical Information

• installation: between steering rod and rack

• packaging: 2 pieces (left + right side)

• possibility of modification (shortening for higher lock)

Installation and Recommendations

For proper function, it is recommended:

• first adjust alignment (toe-in)

• then adjust the limiter length

• if alignment is already set, the steering rod can be adjusted (approx. 2 turns)

Incorrect adjustment can affect the maximum steering angle.

Compatibility

• BMW E36

• BMW E46

• BMW E8x (E81, E82, E87, E88)
