Steering and suspension 30 www.aftermarketonline.net JULY/AUGUST 2025 Within just a year, BORG Automotive Reman, a 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. They include 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 1,350 steering racks and over 578 steering pumps. This translates into a European market coverage of 86% for steering racks and 82% 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. Highlights of the latest additions to the range include manual steering racks 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-litre diesel engine — such as the BMW 325d, 325d Coupe, 330d and 330d Coupe. Electric steering racks are becoming crucial for the aftermarket. However, only a few remanufacturers have the know-how to remanufacture them. As with all remanufactured parts from BORG Automotive Reman, the 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.

The Danish firm saw off competition earlier this year from six strong competitors in the ‘best reman company’ category. Rematec has been honouring individuals and companies that promote the reuse of products through innovative business models, to promote resource efficiency and sustainability. The latest award was announced earlier this year at the Rematec expo in Amsterdam. BORG Automotive Group chief commercial officer Kaper Thomsen said: “This is a great confirmation of our holistic business approach. “We are also working to reduce the environmental impact of our production and place great importance on transparency — for example, by publishing life cycle analyses for our products. This makes us both a reliable partner to the aftermarket and a tireless ambassador for the circular economy.” BORG steers into a reman range century
