Detailed Product Overview

Part number 3310N is a new hydraulic rack and pinion assembly for BMW steering systems, including many 1992-2006 BMW 318i, 325i, 330i, 328i, Z3, and M3 applications. It is a direct replacement style unit for vehicles that need a complete steering rack solution rather than a repair of individual internal components. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

As part of the Atlantic Automotive Enterprises New Rack and Pinion Complete Unit line, this assembly is built around OE-quality components and verified through inspection and hydraulic testing in the USA. The included inner tie rods and sealed bellows help protect the steering gear from contamination, while the heat-treated bar adds durability for long-term service.

Common Steering Problems This Part May Address

• Steering fluid leaks from a worn rack and pinion assembly
• Excessive steering play or loose steering feel
