Power Steering Mounting

buytamil · 03-01-2018, 10:13 PM

Does the power steering reservoir need to be secured tightly to the bracket or there can be some play ?

I found the reservoir shaking and tried to tighten it. One of the bolt broke.

You obviously need another bolt, BMW made two bolts in order for it to be secure. But sure you can ride around with one bolt in it and it flapping all over the place. You probably don't even need any bolts just lay it in there somewhere????

It moves because it mounts to the body using bushings; it is supposed to move.
