A fantastic deal, great price, perfect fit. Great company with fast shipping. Saved me a small fortune. Went right in.
Ani Natekar –
Worked very well! Highly appreciate the new feel. My steering was a little sloppy, had a shake at certain speeds and at full lock made the steering effort pretty high. This seems to have fixed all of it! (I also changed front struts from Detroit Axle) Unbeatable value!I used this on a 2003 BMW 325i with 190k miles on it. Feels lovely to drive again.

Very good rack and pinion! Exact fit! Works very well. Seems to be better then the stock rack that was on my car. But could be bacuse it was so sloppy for so long.
Christian –
Not a good item only lasted 1 month and the shaft in the rack started to make noise and have a lot of play very disappointed
Bryan Cuellar –
Fits well on my 2002 325i no issues whatsoever, highly recommend e46 rack from this supplier.
Santiago Sánchez –
Good

I’m happy with this rack purchase, and it comes with the dust boot cover at the output shaft, which connects to the column join. I recommend purchasing the other tie rods as a package. Perfect fitment and make the steering feel a lot more solid.

Only negative is that there is no bolt hole for the pressure hose loop mounting – I had to improvise a mounting. For the price I guess this is ok.Two weeks and the unit seems to be working ok so far.
