I am having difficulty finding a rebuilt rear axle output shaft.I have two of them and I thought perhaps I could rebuild one. I can't seem to find any info on that task. Would you by chance have instructions for the rebuild? As always thank you. Ed Hello Leslie, I wonder if I might impose on you once more.

I hope you had a nice winter in Florida. I think you are talking about the constant velocity (CV)joint. It is <a href="http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=4512&mospid=47247&btnr=33_0952&hg=33&fg=25" rel="nofollow">#10 in this diagram</a>. Since RealOEM says it's NLA, you might have to get a used one. Maybe CV joints from later models might work. If you don't mind, I will forward your question to the E3 list.

I am presently in Fl and going back to RI this week. When I left I had my Bavaria running but I have sort of a clunk noise from the left rear wheel area. I removed the part a rod with a rubber boot on each end. One end swiveled freely but the end to the wheel was extremely hard to move. I took it apart and of course had trouble with the ball bearings. Put it back on, noise still there, took it back off and same end was locked up. I have been on line trying to buy one but no one including the parts people have a name for it. Most call it a rear axle rod but it refers to the axle bushing. So after all this do you have a name for this part and where I might look for one or possibly I have two of these could I get them rebuilt. Don't mean to take up too much of your time. I like your site you do one heck of a job. Hope this finds you well. Ed Hello Leslie I haven’t been in touch for some time. I am presently in Fl and going back to RI this week.

You're looking for the original steering wheel in plastic or wood, right? If you're not looking for an original, you can get a Momo steering wheel hub then choose whatever steering wheel you want. http://www.lesliewong.us/blog/2010/03/01/momo-super-indy-steering-wheel/ @Bob Hudek: I’ll ask on the Senior Six mailing list.

The original plastic 3 spoke has cracked badly. I'm in Toronto, Canada and parts are difficult to get for the car here. Any idea where I might find a decent seeting wheel? I think there were wooded ones too, at one time. I have a 1972 Bavaria and need a new steering wheel for it. The original plastic 3 spoke has cracked badly.
