MLM 57 Report post Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) Does anyone have a Z3 pwer steering rack available at a reasonable price <$400 or there abouts. By replacing the one on my E36 with a Z3 rack my E30 can inherit a e36 rack to replace its current leaking rack. Upgrades all round Cheer Matt Edited April 27, 2012 by MLM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HELLBM 1557 Report post Posted April 30, 2012 I have E46 Compact racks for $450 These give a great feel/response in a E36 or E30 and are a direct fit. (with steering linkage mod in an E30) There are 3 different ratios the E36 cars came equipped with. All non-M 3-series coupes and sedans (92-98) came with a 3.2-turn lock-to-lock rack. 95 M3 had a 3.0-turn lock-lock rack which quickens when the steering angle is 200+ degrees but is the slowest rack for the E36 (built to be speed sensitive; slower at lower speeds). EVO M3s and MZ3s (96+) had a 3.2 ratio rack as well. Different racks specs: measured in (mm/rev); mm of linear racks movement (left or right) per steering wheel revolution: - M3 3.0 - 39 mm/rev - the slowest available rack. This is a variable ratio but it is slower than standard until 200 deg hand wheel angle - M3 3.2 and standard E36 - 45.5 mm/rev - the M3 3.2 rack has restricted lock. - Z3 rack - 53.5 mm/rev - by far the quickest rack you can fit. - E46 compact rack - 50 mm/rev - the next quickest Expect to pay at least $750 for a Z3 rack. Any less is a bargin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
