    WTB: Z3 Rack

    In the market for one in good shape Z3 1.9L Steering rack with 2.7 Lock to Lock ratio.

    If you have one let me know and how much shipped to 02151

    Let me know if you have anything laying around

    NOT interested in any other racks like e36 m3 etc....

    Thanks Jared

    Rockauto has new AAE Z3 1.9L racks for like $255. No core needed. Just an FYI. It's approx 2.7 as tested on my car.

      Actually I was aware of this. I wasn't too sure of the quality of this manufacturers brand though but heck I got a $100 gift card and 5% off discount code maybe I'll give it a shot

      Is that currently the exact brand rack your using? If so, how long have you had it? No leaks, issues etc...

        I am using this exact brand. Been using it for approx 3 months of daily driving use with no problems. It's certainly quick. However, it feels very light at speed and real heavy if I'm sitting still, like it has no PS.

        I think this could be the old PS pump though. It was in a race car before so the pump sustained a lot of high rpms. It makes a bit of noise too despite having new lines, reservoir and high quality fluid.

        It's hard to say if it's the rack or the pump causing the overboost at speed and underboost when still but I suspect it's the pump. The alt and waterpump seem to be under performing as well so this all adds up. It's not drastic, just noticeable if you're picky.

          I can't wait to try mine out from rock auto. My old e30 one was about toast.
