BMW E9X & E8X Steering Rack OVERHAUL Kit

► Does your car feel like it's wandering in the lane as you are driving down the road? Maybe you have noticed some leaking coming from your power steering components, or even a knocking sound when turning the wheel. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms - it might be time to service your vehicles steering rack system. We have created a kit here at FCP Euro to help you with the replacement of your BMW E9X's steering rack system.

Power steering racks (rack and pinion) are usually a lifetime component for most cars. However, there are certain scenarios in which a power steering rack can fail and will need to be replaced. We often find that poor maintenance of the system (leaks, old fluid, damaged hoses) can cause premature failure. Part failures within the rack itself are also common. Seals can fail causing leaks and poor system pressure. We also find that worn inner tie rod boots that are damaged can allow for water, dirt, and other contaminants to get inside the rack causing havoc with the power steering system as a whole. If your rack is leaking or making grinding sounds, it will need to be replaced.

Rack and Pinion Assembly Failure Symptoms:
-Leaks at sealing points
-Tight steering feel
-Grinding noises
-Numb spot in steering
-Car wandering
