1to1 repair
Procedure of the 1to1 repair
We refer to the remanufacturing of your defective old part as a repair. This means that you send or bring us your defective old part and we remanufacture it 1-to-1. All components of your steering part are labelled. If it is necessary to replace components for technical reasons, we will contact you in advance. The 1-to-1 repair is interesting, e.g. if a part is not available or if you would like to have your own part remanufactured. In addition, a 1-to-1 repair is usually cheaper, as the risk of the old part no longer lies with us, but with you.
However, please also note that if your old part does not fulfil certain requirements, a repair is no longer possible.In this case, only an exchange part would help, if available.
Unfortunately, not every old part can be repaired. In some cases, however, we do have suitable spare parts in stock. You are therefore welcome to contact us if your part has one of the following defects:
steering racks
- steering racks with damaged or bent steering input shaft
- steering racks with damaged or broken housing
- steering racks with bent steering rackbars
- steering racks with bent or defective pipes
- steering racks with rusted rackbars
- steering racks resulting from acident damage
- steering racks with damaged threads

steering pumps
- servopumps with damaged or missing pipes for the supply lines
- servopumps with broken housing cover
- servopumps with torn out or damaged shaft
- servopumps with broken housing brackets and/or damaged threads
- servopumps with worn shafts in the area of the pressed-on pulley or adapter (already loosened or fallen off)
- Pulleys with imbalance or damage
- Adapters with imbalance or damage

You can purchase the suitable repair for your part directly from our online store. To do this, you can either select your vehicle and then choose the right item or search directly for your part number.
If you cannot find what you are looking for, you can of course skip directly to step 2. However, you must then enclose a short letter with your contact details with the shipment.
Note on the required scope of delivery
steering racks
Please ensure that you also send the two metal pipes on the steering rack itself, if you had to remove them during disassembly. A final function test is not possible without these pipes. For standard parts, you do not need to send the servotronic valve, the pipes to the pump and any connecting pieces. For more exotic parts that we do not yet have in our range, please also send us the tie rods and any attachments (valve).
For recirculating ball steering gears, you do not need to send the reversing lever if you can get it detached.
steering pumps
For standard parts from our range, it is sufficient if you send us the pure servo pump. If the pulley is screwed together, you are welcome to unscrew it to avoid damage during transportation (especially with plastic pulleys). For more exotic parts, please also send us the corresponding pulley and any attachments.
Note on shipping
In the past, there have unfortunately been an increasing number of delays in shipping due to liquids leaking from parcels. Therefore, please ensure in particular that all closures and, if damaged, the sleeves are adequately protected so that no oil can leak out. You can wrap these areas with plastic bags and/or appropriate foil.
Furthermore, you should pack the steering part in a rectangular cardboard box for reasons of cost and protection. Make sure you use a sufficient amount of cushioning material to avoid impact damage.
For steering racks with Servotronic valves, it is particularly important to protect the plastic connection of the converter against impact damage. Therefore, please ensure that there is sufficient padding in this area or enclose the converter in a separate protective cover with the shipment. The same applies to servo pumps with a plastic pulley.
Please send the part with sufficient postage (or purchase a shipping label) and properly packaged to the following address. Please also note the order number in the package or enclose a copy of the order.

Which shipping service provider is best suited?
There is no general answer to this question. On the one hand, it depends on the cardboard packaging used and the overall dimensions of the steering gear. If the package exceeds a shipping dimension of 120 cm, shipping with DHL (bulky goods) is considerably more expensive and slower than shipping with other providers. Parcels with smaller dimensions can be shipped quickly and cheaply with DHL. If you wish, you can also order a corresponding shipping label when purchasing in the online store.
After receive, marking and testing, your part goes through our complete remanufacturing process.
You can select special requests directly in the online store or send them to us in advance. If possible, we will be happy to implement these for you. You will also find suitable accessories and hydraulic oils in our store.
Mounting bushes and tie rods are professionally fitted by us, tie rod ends and hydraulic oils are included in the shipment.
After successful repair and final inspection, we will return the part to your address accordingly.
Of course, you can also choose a different delivery address. You can also choose express shipping, but please note that this only shortens the shipping time and not the remanufacturing time required.
