Dear All,It is time to do up my steering rack,4 man quote rm800-900 from chop shop warranty 1 month & recond rm 1800 , 4man recommend take from chop shop,what do you think?
 
personally i think better take recond one. chop shop one you dunno what's the condition on the inside and it's a gamble.
 
If my e39 steering rack having problem, i will buy the steering from UK. UK used spare parts are quite ok. If the steering rack bought from UK got problem then i will recond it myself.

How to source from UK? eBay? Planning to look for one for my E46 too.
 
Anybody try out the German reconditioned Steering Rack? Heard that its quite reliable and comes with 3 months warranty .. but much much expensive .. around RM3.5k, if i am not mistaken ...

4man told if the rack recond locally they will only change the seal inside ,dun know how true is it????
 
Guys, a full recond rack for E39 is only RM1200. Full recond means the seals inside are changed, the shafts & housing are checked thoroughly. If any damages to the shaft or housing, it is changed with good used unit too. It comes with 3 months warranty.

Interested, please call them, Mie 0163388910. These guys specialized on rack reconditioning :)
 
Wolverine, Mie can do for E36 steering rack also? Where his location, and also need intro for good price??
 
Thanks Wolverine ...
If my steering rack still leak after putting in the repair kit, i will try my luck with Mie ...
Looks like not much price diff when comparing fixing and changing with re-cond set :)

Thanks ..

Paid RM1200 to refurb my steering rack but 1 of the shaft is still loose. Any way to rectify it? Comes with 1 year warranty though.
