BMW 6-Series E63 E64 Power Steering Problems – Racks & Pumps

The BMW 6-Series both E63/E64 use a conventional hydraulic power steering system consisting of a hydraulic steering rack, power steering pump and pressure hoses. The high pressure hose connects from the pump to the rack and the low pressure (return) hose connects from the rack back to the reservoir to circulate the power steering fluid. Some variations in models will have speed / angle sensors fitted to the rack valve housing.

We are able to fully test & rebuild all BMW power steering units and using new genuine OEM components we can ensure that every rebuilt power steering part will meet & exceed OE specifications. We also carry most BMW steering parts in stock on an exchange basis and every unit we supply will come with a minimum 2 year warranty.
