CSL Steering Rack

[Craig]

I have a CSL steering rack available, it'll require two new tie rod ends / rack arms and one rubber boot to make it whole again. But the mechanical function of the rack is just fine.

I'll post some pictures later, but like I said this rack is not complete, I can supply some arms (they were pulled out of the socket) however I'd replace them for good measure.

Out of interest craig how do you know its mechanically fine if you have not fitted the tie rods and connnected it up to a pressurised pas system to rule out leaks?

Wouldnt want someone to fit it and end up with a csl like yours when the steering locks up.

Had a local hydraulic place take a look, they claimed to pressure it up to check for leaks and everything was fine. Obviously I have not bolted it up to a car and run it, although if it fits my e36 I might just do that, and keep it on there!!

Depending on the interest, I'm tempted to send it to powersteering.co.uk and get them to re-build it and then sell it at a higher premium complete. This all depends on interest, I am making any potential buyer aware of everything. As most know, I refused to even sell this rack until someone else had looked at it!

That's a very honorable attitude Craig :thumbs: Top marks. BTW the Business CD player out of your CSL lives on happily in my CSL :thumbs: THANX again.

I wasnt being funny with my post craig, I was just trying to clarify,

If you fully refurbed it with boots, tie rods and track rod ends I think you would get better return,

I agree, well done bud.

A little bit less then a Brand New one ???

A little bit less then a Brand New one ???

on something like a steering rack i think i would only offer 'a lot less' as its had probably half its life anyway and been in a major bang

good luck Craig, would like it as a spare but only if it is sound (and cheap)

[Craig]

I'm looking into fitment onto an e36, as it could be a better option than going 1.9 Z3 rack. If someone wants to make me an offer on it 'as is' then feel free, I've just had an e-mail back with a price for refurbishment and its very reasonable compared to the cost of a new rack, infact its less than 1/5th of the cost.
