Hi everyone,  so I recently got my first 325 (2007) however the power steering has gone. I have checked and there is enough steering fluid. Any ideas how I can fix this ? thanks

Welcome to the Forum

First has your car got standard Hydro power steering or Active power steering? 

If you have standard steering it could be the pump or the rack ? If you have active steering the pump and rack are different and you have a Control unit.

Take a look at www.realoem.com put the last 7 digits of your Vin number in the search box and it will call up your model, then check the steering section.

If you have active steering check the fusses and any relays.

      But What size front are 225x?x? rear the same 255x?x? If wheels are 17" they should be 7.5J rims 18" 8.0J rims 19" should be 8.0J all round or if wider rears then 8j front and 9j rear The ONLY wheel set that has wider rear rims is 19" so if your car has 17" or 18" wheels the tyres are probably wrong just checking the width does not make them correct Dave

      Hi Cameron That sounds wrong for an X! to me unless the rear wheels are wider than the front If your wheels are 17" tyre size should be 225x50x17 94H front and rear 18" Wheels tyres should be 225x45x18 or if wider rims at the rear 255x40x18 at the back 19" rims tyres should be 225x40x19" front 255x35x19" rear As I have said check very carefully if the rear tyres are 255 but should be 225 then the distance they cover each rotation will be to much of a difference between front and rear and will cause damage Dave
