Some will say that the ZHP steering rack is different than the normal 330i, and others will say it's the same. I guess it's all about what you believe in since they carry the same part number.. but some people swear they are different because the steering feel IS different from a normal 330i. Some, though, attribute that 'feel' to the ZHP control arms.Originally Posted by Jlastor

^Huge thread on BFc about this.
Last determination I read was that it is a different rack even though it has the same part number (iirc).

All the same. Rack doctor is charging a premium for racks that are confirmed to come from a ZHP. But as long as the lock-to-lock is 3.0 you are set.
My non zhp is 3.4 lock-to-lock.

Any update on how this turned out? My dad took the xi to a shop (that I don't particularly care for) for leaking ps fluid. He was told the "power steering gear" needed to be replaced for $1600. I haven't heard what their reasoning is yet, though.
If the rack is leaking, is it shot or can can the seals be replaced?
