What is the purpose of a steering rack?

The steering rack is the component of the steering system that converts the rotational movement of the steering wheel into the turning of the vehicle's front wheels.

What is the difference between a steering rack and a power steering rack?

A power steering rack is a colloquial term for a rack-and-pinion steering gear commonly used in passenger cars.

How does the steering rack work in a BMW F10?

The BMW F10 uses hydraulic or electric EPS transmissions that adjust the power steering to the driving speed.

Does the steering gear have to be matched to the engine version?

Yes, because different engine versions may have different technical parameters, mountings and steering characteristics.

Does the steering rack work with other suspension components?

Yes, the gearbox interacts with, among others, the steering rods, control arms and shock absorbers.

What symptoms may indicate steering gear wear?

The most common are loose steering wheel, noises when turning and reduced steering precision.

Does a used steering rack retain the car's factory parameters?

Yes, provided it is properly matched to the vehicle model, generation and technical specifications.

Precise steering systems with robust housings for various vehicle types

Functions of gears and housings in the steering system

Steering racks and housings are key components of the steering system, enabling precise vehicle control. Their smooth operation is essential for driving safety and comfort. At Global Parts, you'll find a wide selection of used car parts, including steering racks and housings, ideal for BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini , and more . The steering rack (often also referred to as the rack and pinion) is responsible for converting the rotational motion of the steering wheel into the turning motion of the front wheels. Modern passenger cars – such as the BMW 5 Series (e.g., BMW F10) – use both hydraulic and electric power steering (EPS) systems, which differ in their power steering but perform identical mechanical functions. The precision of the gear operation directly affects the vehicle's trajectory, steering response, and stability at higher speeds.

What components are included in steering gears and housings ?

Our offer includes the following items : Steering Gears – Key components that transfer the movement of the steering wheel to the vehicle's wheels, providing precise control. Steering gear housings – Protect the gear mechanisms against dirt, moisture and mechanical damage. Structurally, the steering rack consists of a rack, pinion, seals, and mounting points that interact with the suspension and steering column. The housing serves not only a protective function but also a structural one, maintaining the gear's operating geometry and enabling precise adjustment to the specific vehicle platform. This ensures that the steering rack's compatibility is closely linked to the vehicle's model, generation, and engine version.

Why is it worth taking care of steering gears and housings ?

Malfunctioning steering gears and housings can lead to serious vehicle control issues and increase the risk of steering system failure. Typical symptoms include: Play in the steering wheel – This may indicate wear of the internal mechanisms of the transmission. Noises when turning – Grinding or knocking sounds may indicate problems with the gears or mating components. Power steering fluid leaks – Leaks in the gearbox can cause a decrease in power steering efficiency. Difficulty maneuvering – A damaged transmission can increase resistance when turning, reducing driving comfort. At Global Parts, we offer genuine used steering gears and housings that have undergone extensive quality testing, ensuring their durability and reliability. A well-functioning steering rack not only improves comfort but also ensures even tire wear and proper interaction with other suspension components, such as control arms, tie rod ends, and shock absorbers. In premium vehicles—like the BMW F10—steering precision is a key element of handling characteristics, so properly matching the rack to the specific model is crucial.

How to choose the right steering gears and housings ?

When selecting steering gears and housings, there are several key aspects to consider: Vehicle-specific fit – Every steering system has its own specific technical requirements. At Global Parts , you'll find steering racks and housings perfectly matched to BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini , and more . Technical condition – Used gearboxes should be free from play, leaks and mechanical damage. Steering Type – Depending on your vehicle, you may need a mechanical, hydraulic, or electric transmission. Selecting the right steering rack is primarily based on compatibility with the vehicle's VIN, body type, and power steering system. For example, the BMW F10 steering rack is available in several design variants, depending on the engine version and power steering type (hydraulic or electric EPS). This approach allows for maintaining factory steering parameters and a turning radius.

Why choose used steering gears and housings ?

Used car parts , such as steering gears and housings, are a practical solution that allows you to save money while maintaining high quality. By choosing used steering gears and housings, you benefit from: Lower costs – Used components are much cheaper than new ones, but offer equally high quality. Ecology – Recycling car parts supports environmental protection and reduces waste. A wide range – In our store you will find steering gears and housings for the most popular car brands. Used steering racks are often chosen for accident repairs or restoring a vehicle to full operational condition. They allow for maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications, which is especially important in premium cars. Furthermore, this form of purchase helps optimize service costs without affecting compatibility with other steering system components.

How to take care of steering gears and housings ?

To ensure that steering gears and housings function reliably for a long time, it is worth following a few rules: Regularly check the condition of the transmission during technical inspections, paying attention to any power steering fluid leaks. Maintain proper power steering fluid level and quality to prevent excessive wear of transmission components. Avoid sudden maneuvers that can accelerate wear of the internal mechanisms of the transmission. If you need a replacement, you'll find the right used car parts at Global Parts that will restore full functionality to your steering system.
