Steering rack part no. is
203-460-1300 up to chassis a666024 (check the last digits of your VIN)
203-460-5200 from a555897
Basically first one is for 2001-2004
second one is 2005-2006
To check your ESP, 213 PML may be stamped on the front of it. Check engine bay.
OLD ESP no. are weeded out of EPC but the current ESP modules are
209-545-0832, 0932, 1032 which all support this mod
If you must replace your rack, might as well replace it with this rack and update the ESP module later on. The rack will function as a regular rack if you don't have it wired up.

Just based on all the OEM modifications you've done over the years alone, I wouldn't be surprised if that amounts to a very luxurious car!

Wish I had the $$$ right now to do this, even though I'd have to take it to a shop, because I'm lucky if I can get the lugbolts off my wheel.

I saw it for 1815 and 2200, you know where.
ESP module 209-545-0932 is listed as a "switch" and goes for 517.

the esp module is in the engine bay. near the drivers headlight. the older and newer part numbers I listed both have speed sensitive steering option. Thanks for all the compliments guys!

option 213 parameter steering...when I modified my C270CDI I thought I didn't need that option and didn't install it at the time but as soon as I drove around with my lowered wagon on 18s I knew I should have added the 213 option as well SO I did the same as sunil did (approx 8 months ago) and added the wiring and relais for the parameter steering (mine is an 01) and swapped the steering rack.
It is the one option I enjoy every single day...BUT as the steering rack itself is rather expensive, it is not something that most people will do unless you find a reasonable priced steering rack (I found a new one at third the price of the dealership).

What's the differences between 203 and 211 steering system?
When you come here is it possible to modify my 211?

Slammer is right, the dealer should be able to run a VMI and see what codes you’re equipt with.
Re-read posts 17 and 21.
An easy way to find out, is check the ESP module - Sunil indicates w209 parts and +213 PML which will need DAS to activate the open circuit...
