Steering rack repair kit for E36 is available, FYI. The price inclusive of labour should be around RM400+. Not sure what's your model, perhaps you may wanna specify your car model in order for some of us here to advise.

Cheers

i did mine last month...it was an overhaul since the shaft was still ok. Everything cost RM875 inclusive of alignment. If the shaft is badly worn you may need to replace the whole rack. This would be more painful. Was told that potong kereta can sell you for RM1,200. Brand New price, i never asked. My guess is about RM2,200.

Heavy job. Taking the rack out is a pain cos gotta 'loose' the engine from the subframe. Do the overhaul if u can. Its close to 'brand new'.
 
i was told to replace the steering rack for my e36 because of serious leakage and was quoted rm2k+ for recon parts. brand new is said to be around rm4k+. how i wish i can be repaired/overhauled.

does anyone know anywhere i can get cheaper sets?
 
Got it new 6 month ago for my company's 528, cost rm1800, then b4 CYN my 525 also kon, bought a 2nd hand unit cost RM900.
 
called all the usual bmw parts supplier out there...none of them carry new steering racks...all of them are reconds...some from ZF, some from spore, some german.

even called eng soon and they didnt have new steering racks...reconds from ZF.

i think bavarian auto quoted rm1200.

siap pasang at USJ MSpeed is RM1500.
 
I ordered mine for E39 528 from First Division. ZF New. Cost RM2,650. 6 months warranty. 2 weeks wait.
 
....sorry newbie here....how does one know when steering rack kaput or is going to kaput....what is one not to do/suppose to do, to prolong the lifespan of the steering rack.
 
little freeplay, steering less responsive, small leaks at tie-rod endsconnecting to rack, for me i think it was the heavy replica rims tat caused it to fail slowly.. now on ori rims feels lighter.. also replace all connecting bushes, tie rods, timely will help.. and change all at once or the newer one tends to bully the older/loose one causing the new ones also to fail quicker..

prolong lifespan = drive like a girl

hehe cheers..
