Which steering rack did you end up with for your 100? My mechanics are quoting me $676 for a remanufactured rack and $909 for OEM. I've read every single thread on power steering racks and still have no solid data on whether to go OEM or rebuilt.
 
I replaced mine with a remanufactured one from Maval. Very happy with it. A lot of bimmer folks use it with great dependability as well.
I did it in N. California with parts and labor, including alignment for $1,100
Good luck
 
I vote new OEM! Piece of mind, You don't want to have to dig back in there for a while.
New OEM is $650 from cruiserparts.

+1 for OEM if u can still find them. It was out of stock everywhere when I needed one last year.
 
I replaced with I think master pro from Oreillys but used whiteline bushings. No problems in 6 months or so.
 
^^^^ looks like a crazy good price.
 
Camelback has it for$532 OEM and Brand New. I called in the evening and they have 1 in stock.
 
Anyone know if the mcgeorge rack is OEM, aftermarket, or Remanned?
 
Anyone have any knowledge about BBB Industries remanufactured power steering racks? As much as I'd love to get a new OEM or even a new aftermarket, it's not in the budget. RockAuto has them for ~$275 after sending the core back.


CruiserParts has the component also but the options don't make sense to me. It reads like it starts at $275 then I add $300 because I have an '03 then add more for high quality aftermarket or OEM. The description says that a core is not required but there is a core charge of $200.


I'll probably fire off an email or phone call to get a better understanding but I'd love to hear some first hand experience if anyone out there has it.

Thanks in advance!

Any word back from cruiser parts? So happen to be in the same boat. I was looking to buy the steering rack but ran into the same issues with the added prices like the core etc.
 
I haven’t called yet. I have a bunch on my plate at the moment and this is getting pushed down the road right now.
