Product Information
This Genuine BMW Steering Rack (Remanufactured) includes inner tie rod ends and steering rack bellows.
Condition: Remanufactured genuine BMW unit, professionally rebuilt and tested for proper operation. Cosmetic wear may be present consistent with prior use.
Remanufacturing Process: Each steering rack is carefully disassembled, inspected, cleaned, and rebuilt to restore proper operation. Wear related components are replaced during the rebuild process, and only BMW OE or OEM quality components are used. No economy aftermarket internal or external components are used in the remanufacturing process.
After assembly, the steering rack is checked for proper function, sealing, and overall operation. This restores the original BMW steering rack assembly while preserving the fitment, steering feel, and build quality expected from an OE based component.
This part number was originally supplied by BMW as a remanufactured steering rack, meaning the genuine BMW core is rebuilt and restored rather than replaced with a lower quality aftermarket assembly. This product follows that same OE remanufactured approach, using a genuine BMW rack as the foundation and rebuilding it with BMW OE or OEM quality components.
Rack and Pinion Assembly
Power steering racks, also known as rack and pinion assemblies, are usually long service life components. However, leaks, old fluid, damaged hoses, failed seals, or worn steering rack boots can lead to premature failure and require replacement.
Damaged inner tie rod boots can allow water, dirt, and other contaminants to enter the rack, causing internal wear and poor power steering performance. If your steering rack is leaking, making grinding noises, binding, or causing inconsistent steering feel, replacement is recommended.
Common failure symptoms:
Leaks at sealing points
Tight steering feel
Grinding noises
Numb spot in steering
Vehicle wandering
