Thanks for the tip. I couldn't find an answer. I did email rimmerbros for information, lets see what they reply. Ive got one steering rack offered to me for 400, but im not sure if its the one i should install.

You're better at finding then me

. Just read the topic, seems there was a difference between old and new. No info wether it would fit, only that the ratio is different.

I also read that the later models had the same rack, the earlier ones had different racks. So i might need to look specifically for a certain one.

In case anybody is reading this in the future, I've got confirmation from Rimmerbross that the QAB102452 should fit perfectly in my car. The one I removed from my car was for the 2.0 V6, but they didn't know why I had that one in my car.

So now I'm hunting down a proper one via internet. Trying to get the 75 back on the road again.

The Seals went on my Contemporary last year. Was leaking from the bellows/dustcover at trackrod end, if you know what I mean.. it’s a bmw thing apparently. I got a recon rack. You can pick em up for between £70-90.. some are part ex so check

Mine is leaking at the same place. I searched for a few places where they could recondition it, but in the end only found one address that offered this service for LHD models.
Eventually I found somebody on the AROnline Facebook group that had a new one for sale, and I decided to take the new one.
Now just waiting for it to arrive so I can install it.

Managed to get it out from under the car without dropping the subframe, lets see if I can get it back in in the same way
