BMW 3-Series (E90 / E91 / E92 / E93) Power Steering Problems – Racks & Pumps
We repair all types of BMW 3-Series power steering problems and some of the more modern BMW 3-Series (E90 / E91 / E92 / E93) have some real common failing parts such as the domed shape power steering pump. They have a tendency to snap at the shaft internally, causing the pulley to spin but no pressure to build up inside and so you feel a complete loss of power assistance in the steering.
When remanufacturing BMW power steering units, we use new genuine OEM components to ensure each & every power steering unit is rebuilt to meet & exceed OE specifications. We carry a large number of BMW 3-Series power steering parts in stock for fast turnaround and can also offer to rebuild your existing unit with a 2 year warranty.

Hi their i am having trouble with my 2011 bmw e92 when going over uneven roads i am getting a knocking noise from drivers side Front and i have replaced all front suspension components still no luck. I bought a second hand rack and problem is still their. Are these racks bad for knocking on Uneven roads when they wear??? Thanks martin
Hello Martin
Thank you for your enquiry,
Play inside the steering rack is a common problem but if you have replaced the steering rack, even with a used part, I would expect the knocking noise to change slightly i.e. in tone/depth. If there is no change at all, then I would recommend looking over all of the joints/mounts and wheel bearings but you can also send us your original steering rack to be tested and inspected.
If you’d prefer, you can call us to book your vehicle in for an inspection and we’d look over everything to trace the cause of the knock.
Kind Regards
Jason
