Steering rack OEM Subaru or OEM BMW

zhp rack is my favorite mod, and I have many. Even if you're not tracking, the biggest affects to driving feel are steering and tires. The lock-to-lock is largely irrelevant on public roads but the feel makes a big difference vs the other racks.

My 2013 WRX has a 2020 STI one that the previous owner installed. It’s super good

I have a 13 WRX, had the 15+ sti steering rack for 2 years now. I think it feels much better then the stock one! No issues with TC or VDC.

Have on in my 14 sti, love it. Not sure how different the electronic systems are from wrx to sti but no issues with about 5k miles on it.

I just put in a Z3 rack in my 1998 and it is amazing! The steering is amazing! 100% recommend it is not too fast for me at all

I have a yellow tag in my car and I love it

Had to replace the power steering rack (OEM) from an outside Subaru specialty repair shop for $1100. OEM rack, fluid $640, labor & alignment $480.

I had the steering rack in my 2016 STI replaced at an independent Subaru shop and it was $730 for an OEM rack and $525 in labor not including a power steering flush and alignment.

the factory rack is one of the few things i think bmw screwed up on these lovely cars.

2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness owner here, got the same issue, started at about 38000km. Now an hour commute to work and the sticky steering is driving me bonkers!
