BORG Automotive Reman: More Than 100 New Steering References Added in Twelve Months
Within just a year, BORG Automotive Reman, the leading independent remanufacturer of used automotive parts in Europe, has increased its steering range to a greater extent than ever before. Including the releases from January 2025, a total of 101 new references were added to the range. Among that are 89 steering racks, 40 of which are electric – a type which is being ever more relevant for distributors and workshops.
The already well-positioned steering range of BORG Automotive Reman has become even more attractive for dealers and workshops. After the expansion, it includes more than 1350 steering racks and over 578 steering pumps. This translates into a European market coverage of 86 percent for steering racks and 82 percent for steering pumps. In addition to the width of the range, its depth is also impressive: The portfolio includes steering racks for rare or old vehicles such as the Renault 5 as well as fast-moving items for popular models such as the Ford Fiesta MK VII.
Lots of new high-turnover items
Highlights of the latest additions to the range include manual steering rack for three best-selling vehicle applications of the Toyota Yaris and Toyota Yaris Hybrid from 2020 onwards as well as an electric steering rack for various BMW models produced between 2012 and 2020, including the BMW 118d and BMW 330d. Together, these two items alone cover more than 750.000 vehicles in Europe. As remanufactured products, they are currently offered by only a few companies.
Another new item in the range is a hydraulic steering pump for 17 BMW vehicle applications. It is the ideal spare part for various BMW models built between 2004 and 2013 with a 3.0-liter diesel engine – such as the BMW 325d, 325d Coupe, 330d and 330d Coupe. This remanufactured part is also available from only a limited number of suppliers.

Electric steering racks: complex products
Electric steering racks like these are becoming crucial for the aftermarket. However, only a few remanufacturers have the know-how to remanufacture them. After all, these units communicate with the engine control unit via the board network, for example by means of CAN or FlexRay. The remanufacturing process is correspondingly complex.
Quality equal to new original parts
As with all remanufactured parts from BORG Automotive Reman, the company’s steering racks and steering pumps are used original parts that have been returned to as-new condition in a complex process. Remanufacturing takes place in production plants certified according to the ISO 9001:2015 quality standard in Europe. Each part undergoes a six-stage process: It is disassembled, cleaned and thoroughly inspected. Then, the replacement of small and wear parts follows, which are obtained exclusively from renowned suppliers. After reassembly, each steering rack and steering pump undergoes an individual function test according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
All new steering pumps and steering racks can be found in TecDoc and the electronic catalogues of the BORG Automotive Reman brands Elstock, DRI and TMI.
